Katherine Paterson + Short Stories + Christmas. I was psyched. But for me? = Meh. These read like dated scripts for Lifetime movies, and not in a good way. I just wasn't feeling the magic. Maybe I'm to cynical and jaded, but I don't really think that's it. Even allowing for schmaltzy-Christmasey gooeyness, many of these stories fell flat for me.

I enjoyed these stories. They are darker than other Christmas stories, but nearly all the characters find hope in the end, which is inspiring. They do get a little old after a while (I've read her other collection, too), but it's understandable since she wrote a story every year for around twenty years. These were almost the very first stories she ever wrote.

Katherine Paterson is just such a lovely writer. While most of her books are kids books- her stories intended for adults are amazing.
