JD 2455550.52 \/ December 20th, 2010: five days till Christmas, and the aliens are coming!
\n<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n

<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the day before the Winter Solstice. The biggest pre-Christmas blizzard seen for decades is heading straight for the New York metropolitan area. But in one small corner of the Town of Hempstead, everyone\u2019s attention is on other business. That\u2019s because there\u2019s a party tonight at Juan and Marina Rodriguez\u2019s house\u2026 and the guest of honor is a being from three hundred lightyears away who looks a whole lot like a Christmas tree.<\/p>\n

The motive force behind the festivities is the redoubtable Carmela Rodriguez, intent on fulfilling one of the great wishes of the wizard known as Filif \u2014 specifically, to finally get him into a full set of Christmas decorations. The two-day party that ensues (with an epic sleepover in the middle) brings together a cast of old and new friends to eat, drink, exchange presents… and deal with a local holiday-season problem in a very wizardly way.<\/p>\n
