In honor of our feature interpretation on It’s a Wonderful Life, herewith a link to the award-winning Connie Willis short story, “Miracle” from Asimov’s Magazine, 1991, courtesy of the Internet Archive. There are a number of interpretive elements of both Wonderful Life and Miracle on 34th Street, which our heroine much prefers (as does your editor). (The story is also available here.) Merry Christmas.
