Title suggestions for holiday collection? by Poetigress

I'm looking to put together a little ebook of my holiday-themed stories, to include "Holly's Jolly Christmas," "Special Delivery," "An Older World," "The Gingerbread Reindeer," and "Nativity," along with at least one brand-new story *mumble*that isn't written yet*mumble*.

My working title so far has been The Gingerbread Reindeer and Other Holiday Tales, because to me that's the only story title I have in the group that really works as a collection title -- but I'm a little worried that this makes it sound too much like a children's book. Granted, I think the stories would be fine for children, but they weren't all necessarily written with kids in mind, and I don't want people buying the thing, if they're not familiar with my work, and being disappointed when they find out it's not a straight-ahead children's book. (I have a lot of problems figuring out my target audience with my writing, apparently, but that's a topic for some other journal entry.)

What I'd like, ideally, is to have a collection title that isn't shared by one of the stories, so it could be something like Something Something: Holiday Tales for the Young at Heart. Doesn't have to be two words, but ideally not more than three (unless there's a "the" or an "a" in there somewhere).

Any ideas?

      It suits, but I'm concerned it might be too forgettable and not pique readers' curiosity enough.
