Initial thoughts: Anthologies usually leave me with mixed feelings. I'll Be Home for Christmas was no exception. There were some short stories that I adored, and others that made me frown — mostly because they made no sense to me. What I particularly liked about this collection is the inclusion of diverse authors who on the whole, included diverse characters as well.
