I think someone went out of their way to collect the worst Christmas stories they could find into one book. I think there were only 3 stories that I didn’t actively hate in this collection. It might just be because I frequently hate classic short stories.

There were some stories that were fantastic, but others (including the longest story) were not enjoyable to me. I think this is why I've never liked short story collections by more than one author.

A Christmas Carol was well done. The rest were okay, but the last bit was just poems.

The worst story was the one about the Christmas tree from the tree’s point of view. It was all excited about being decorated and such, then was chopped up for firewood after it was dried and shriveled. Possibly the most depressing story I’ve ever heard.

The main story from this collection is A christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. I loved it very much. I gave it five stars.

4 ⭐️ I really enjoyed this collection of Christmas stories and poems. I originally read this for The Christmas Carol, which was my first time reading. It was good, but I think I’ll just stick to watching one of the many adaptions each year. I really enjoyed Louisa May Alcott’s short stories in here, especially Tilly’s Christmas.
