Uncle Willie's Woollen Sweater - Stefanie Barnfather

Elijah is hosting Thanksgiving, even though his monstrous relatives are ready to ruin the special occasion. But when a dead body is found the holiday is cancelled - and Elijah couldn't be happier. Except his family won't leave. They want to catch the killer - so Elijah has to weave a thick fabric of lies, much like the sweater knitted by his Uncle Willie.

Like a handmade woollen sweater, this holiday short story makes murderous family drama feel almost comfortable.
