My in-depth review is live on my blog, but my overall rating is that this is a great Christmas collection to read once, but I personally cannot see someone wanting to read this every single Christmas. It lacks a depth, but there are great stories contained within that make it a worthwhile one-time read.

A calming audiobook for Christmas Eve. Nothing remarkable about the collection, but it was what I wanted.

For my 2021 reading goal, I am trying to read all the series that I have started throughout the years. Anne of Green Gables is one of them.
"Share Anne’s delight at receiving the dress of her dreams, the joy of a young woman reunited with her long lost brother on Christmas Eve, and the surprise of a trio of sisters who inadvertently end a family feud by arriving at the wrong uncle’s house for Christmas dinner.
Featuring some well-loved characters from the Anne of Green Gables books, as well as plenty of new characters, this collection of short stories by L. M. Montgomery celebrates the joys and tribulations of Christmas and the hope of the new year.
The perfect escape during the hectic holiday season and all year round."

This was a sweet collection of feel-good Christmasy stories. The first is the famous chapter from Anne of Green Gables about Matthew's puffed-sleeved gift -- and oh, I do love that story! The others were unfamiliar to me, many with themes about offering gifts of time or forgiveness or simple kindness as holiday gifts. I don't know whether any of the stories will be particularly memorable in the long run, but this was a nice, cheerful way to get into the Christmas spirit. Bonus: each story was only about ten minutes of listening time, so I could easily make it through these stories without much commitment.
Thanks to blogger/instagrammer Janssen Bradshaw from the everydayreading book club recommending this book and pointing to the hoopla audio version (check to see if your library offers hoopla audio books in addition to Libby!).

A really sweet collection of Christmas stories that warms the heart and gets you in the Christmas spirit. So glad I read it. If you like this book I would also recommend "A Merry Christmas and Other Stories" by Louisa May Alcott
