One of my favorite authors, Larry Correia, of Monster Hunter International Fame, gifts his readers with a short Christmas story every year in the grand old tradition of the Christmas Note/Basket/Jar/Sweater/Whateverthefuck books that always pop out this time of year. However, Larry puts his typical "spin" on them... and they are chock full of total awesomey goodness.
Here are the previous four year installments, plus this year's as well. Happy reading!! Watch out for Stabby the Snowman!!
It is that time of year again, time for me to cash in and write a Christmas novel like all of those other novelists and their continually bestselling Christmas Jars, Christmas Boxes, Christmas Sweaters, Christmas Letters, and other assorted Christmas nouns.
This has become a bit of a tradition here on Monster Hunter Nation, with me releasing excerpts from the Christmas Noun Saga every December. This is our fifth year of badly written Christmas adventure. I would really recommend going back and reading the previous ones first because this thing gets WEIRD.
