A few short stories and poems about Christmas, in the american way. My favourite are the the last two: Santa Claus and Little Billie, where a poor man in a worn-out red suits pretend to be Santa and take homes a lost little boy, and The House of Seven Santa, where the members of a gentlemen club save a little news boy from the storm and give him the best Christmas of his life.

The book has a couple of short stories about Christmas. The first story was longer than the rest though. I don't want to rate the stories individually but I can comfortably say that they are ranging between average and good. The writing was easy to read but still, you can feel the era that the book was written in. I would have preferred if the stories had somehow equal lengths though.
