Found in the collection Regency
Christmas Spirits, “The Christmas Curse” by Barbara Metzger is one of my
favorite Christmas stories. It tells the story of two generations of the same
family, Sir Olnic and Lady Edryth and their descendent Nick. Centuries ago,
Olnic lost Edryth’s wedding ring in a duel with his neighbor. This cursed them
both to remain as ghosts in the family manor until the ring appeared on the
finger of another family bride. When the female descendent of the man Olnic
dueled with, the ghostly knight and his lady are unsure if they want this girl
to break the curse or not.
