Loved it, loved it, loved it!  A Fantasy Christmas now joins the small pile of books that I reread every Christmas, I've already reread it this month.The first story by Cindy Bennett gets you in the holiday spirit since it was about elves, specifically an elf who is half fairy and fears discovery.The second story by Stephanie Fowers is about the daughter of Aphrodite, set in regency England.  Also fun, but a little confusing.  There were a lot of characters in the story who were from Greek mythology, but not the major gods and goddesses.  I felt like knowing their back stories would have helped me understand them better, because their original stories were obviously important.  Maybe a short glossary at the beginning or end would have helped.  Still, an enjoyable read full of adventure, mischief, and romance at a ball!The last story, Loving Marigold by Sherry Gammon, was also a favorite.  Marigold is a witch.  She's always felt like an outcast, and rumors about her abound.  During a magical week in high school, a boy named Jack who has always been nice to her, now seems to like her.  She may even get her first kiss.  But then Jack's parents more their family to New York.  Eight years later Jack is back.  Will Marigold and Jack finally have their chance or will magic come between them?  A very sweet story, with laugh aloud moments.I highly recommend this one!
