For the entire Pagan community Christmas should be one of the most sacred times of the year, but the lack of any formal written liturgy has consigned the festival to a minor observance in the Pagan calendar. Have a Cool Yule demonstrates that history proves the festival to be a wholly Pagan event, worthy of being acknowledged as one of the Great Festivals along with Beltaine and Samhain. With all the different strands of Pagan custom brought to the hearth-fire of the Mid-Winter Festival, we all have something to celebrate in time-honoured fashion, whether our ancestors are Briton, Celt, Norse or Anglo-Saxon.

Sometimes, life hands you a raw deal. For instance, being Jingle Belle, the daughter of Santa Claus, can't be the easiest thing in the world. Here's the one guy in charge of bringing joy to children around the globe, so what's a self-aware young girl going to do when he neglects her happiness? Well, get even, of course! And have a little fun in the process! Jingle Belle is tired of sitting on the sidelines, and she's going to get her old man to notice her or ruin his life in the process. And whether that's enlisting the Grim Reaper as a department store substitute Santa, joining the local hockey team, or just cutting out to party with the cool kids, Jingle Belle is prepared to do it. This rib-tickling new collection of long and short stories by Paul Dini teams him with some of the finest artists in comics today--including Sergio Aragones (GROO), Bill Morrison (ROSWELL, SIMPSONS COMICS), Stephen DeStefano (BIZARRO COMICS), Jill Thompson (SCARY GODMOTHER), Steve Rolston (POUNDED, MEK) and Jeff Smith (BONE), as well as a special crossover with Chynna Clugston-Major's BLUE MONDAY and the Eisner-nominated MIGHTY ELVES one-shot drawn by J. Bone (MUTANT, TX)! This holiday treat sports a fancy new cover by SAMURAI JACK and POWERPUFF GIRLS character designer Lynne Naylor and a snazzy color summer-vacation story by Dini, DeStefano, and Laura Allred (X-FORCE).

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “Macomber hits the sweet spot with this tender tale of impractical love. . . . A delicious Christmas miracle well worth waiting for.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review) Carrie Slayton, a big-city society-page columnist, longs to write more serious news stories. So her editor hands her a challenge: She can cover any topic she wants, but only if she first scores the paper an interview with Finn Dalton, the notoriously reclusive author. Living in the remote Alaskan wilderness, Finn has written a megabestselling memoir about surviving in the wild. But he stubbornly declines to speak to anyone in the press, and no one even knows exactly where he lives. Digging deep into Finn’s past, Carrie develops a theory on his whereabouts. It is the holidays, but her career is at stake, so she forsakes her family celebrations and flies out to snowy Alaska. When she finally finds Finn, she discovers a man both more charismatic and more stubborn than she even expected. And soon she is torn between pursuing the story of a lifetime and following her heart. Filled with all the comforts and joys of Christmastime, Starry Night is a delightful novel of finding happiness in the most surprising places. Don’t miss Debbie Macomber’s short story “Lost and Found in Cedar Cove” in the back of the book.

In this seasonal treasure, Newbery Medalist Susan Cooper’s beloved poem heralds the winter solstice, illuminated by Caldecott Honoree Carson Ellis’s strikingly resonant illustrations. So the shortest day came, and the year died . . . As the sun set on the shortest day of the year, early people would gather to prepare for the long night ahead. They built fires and lit candles. They played music, bringing their own light to the darkness, while wondering if the sun would ever rise again. Written for a theatrical production that has become a ritual in itself, Susan Cooper’s poem "The Shortest Day" captures the magic behind the returning of the light, the yearning for traditions that connect us with generations that have gone before — and the hope for peace that we carry into the future. Richly illustrated by Carson Ellis with a universality that spans the centuries, this beautiful book evokes the joy and community found in the ongoing mystery of life when we celebrate light, thankfulness, and festivity at a time of rebirth. Welcome Yule!
