For some people it is a big thing. For others it is something they dread and try to avoid. Aparently Christmass is a big thing for the carpenters.

Or did he write "White Council" deliberately to not spoiler us readers?
Edit: or to mislead us?

The book supposedly was finished before he wrote the Christmas Story. So what do you think? The release date was announced December 16, 2019, and Christmas Eve came out December 25, 2019.

Mr. Death:
I don't think he decided as he was writing it that Harry would be kicked out. That's the kind of major story thing I figure he'd have had in mind early on. So, yeah, my money is on him just changing the text to avoid the spoiler.

"Will Grandpa come for Christmas?"

That short story made me really think that Murphy wasn't going to survive.  I mean Christmas Eve and she isn't around, or he doesn't have a stray thought about how they were going to see each other the next day?  I kinda thought like you Eb was going to die too, but them being separated due to politics works as well I guess.

So I was SOMEWHAT prepared for what happened to her, but.... no.  Not really.  It still hurt like hell.

Lucky for you guys then,  I haven't read any of the short stories for a while now, so Murphy hit me cold.  I had suspected beforehand, but I didn't have any hard foreshadowing.
