Review: 3.5 stars, unique Christmas short story.
Rating: 3 out of 5

This Christmas-themed short story is a very interesting twist on traditional themes. If you are looking for a 10 minute holiday read to pass the time, it's well worth it.Grammatically, this short is well-written (only one small mistake I found which could be an autocorrect demon). The words flow, but it does suffer a bit from short story syndrome. By that, I mean the characters were less developed than they could have been. There's a transition in the relationship that was rather abrupt. And it would have been much better to have been fleshed out a bit more here and there. All of which is the challenge with a short story - where do you draw the line, especially if you have a word or page limitation? It's really challenging for the writer to hit all of the major elements in a limited amount of words. Could be tweaked, but the author does a creditable job.If you like your Christmas stories with a paranormal or magical twist, then by all means read this little short.
