Selected Shorts' Meg Wolitzer presents three Christmas stories in different moods—satirical, fantastical, and nostalgic:
- “A Visit from Saint Nicholas (In the Ernest Hemingway Manner),” by James Thurber, performed by James Naughton
- “O’Brien’s First Christmas,” by Jeanette Winterson, performed by Jayne Atkinson
- “One Christmas,” by Truman Capote, performed by John Shea
