Description
Call me childish, but I love all the nonsense – the snow, the trees, the tinsel, the turkey. I love presents. I love carols and cheesy songs. I just love Christmas.
It would be a dream come true to be able to celebrate Christmas properly: to wake up to a Stocking, visit Santa and open Presents around the Christmas Tree. But this is a luxury reserved for those with shares in YuleCo – controllers of this joyful season – who don’t agree that it’s a holiday for one and all.
In this short story, China Miville’s astonishing imagination allows us a glimpse of how a dystopian Christmas might be.
