Editor’s note: The holidays are here, and that means it’s time to slow down and spend some time with family and friends. Of course, a little alone time helps, too, and there’s no better way to spend a few idle holiday hours than with some good writing. In that spirit, we’re happy to present a pair of stories for the season, one fiction and one nonfiction, perfect for reading by the fire or while you’re waiting for a pie to come out of the oven. Read on at the links below!
Wishing you the happiest of holidays,
