  This has a lot of little pieces of many famous Christmas stories. There are a few in their entirety, but for the most part, there are just 'teasers'. For example, there's a short section from A Christmas Carol. Some of the stories really make no sense...I hate to admit it, but I wasn't sure why they were included in a book about Christmas. However, for the most part, it was a great little collection! The kids enjoyed it, and we were able to read one short story each night for a few weeks and really get ourselves into the spirit! :) Some of the stories brought tears to my eyes (one where a family adopted a dog was my favorite) and some brought that wondering twinkle into the eyes of my kids (like the one where a boy finds a Christmas shop and uses all his money to buy magic crackers to make his parents stop fighting...but then when he goes back, the shop is *gone*--was it really Santa??) Well worth the read!

  This little book of Christmas stories is a nice collection that does what it is supposed to do - it gets you into a festive mood.
  I liked most of the stories included here and I do believe the length is just right.
  It's a slim book, so reading through it in a day is definitely manageable. However, it's also a good book to read story per story.

  It was OK. Lots of little stories to make up one book. Some of them ended much too abruptly for me as if there was an end still to be written.
  
  OK for a quick and easy Christmas read.
