It’s a collection of really nice Christmas stories by 12 different authors that helped me ignore the grey reality that awaits outside (no snow this year) and put me in a festive mood.
I’m not gonna rate all of the stories separately because I’d give almost all of them 4 stars. However, I can point that my favourite was It's a Yuletide Miracle, Charlie Brown by Stephanie Perkins - I liked everything about it: the characters, the style, even the oh-so-cheesy ending. It’s the only story I’d give 5 stars (which reminds me I’m yet to read any of her books). There were also two stories that I didn’t quite get: Your Temporary Santa by David Levithan and The Lady and the Fox by Kelly Link and they were my least favourite ones.
All in all, the book is perfect as a Christmas read for such suckers for romance like myself and I think everybody will find something enjoyable among the 12 stories. I'm giving it 4,5 stars. ...more
