Eli is a department store Santa whose world is falling apart. He becomes the subject of a bet between the spirits of good and evil. Can he save himself and change his life?
In the story, Interview, newspaper reporter Cynthia Smith is invited to have a one-on-one talk with Santa Claus. She thinks it is an elaborate hoax. But is the old man claiming to be Santa the real thing, and is his strange story even believable?
In Truce, on Christmas Day, 1914, a German soldier dressed as Saint Nick seeks peace during the carnage of WW1. Can he succeed in a world hell-bent on war?
