There were a couple of stories that I enjoyed... The Christmas lie, and What the King's Brought... But the rest were not what I want, to get in the Christmas spirit.

I love that all of these stories were truly focused on the Reason for the Christmas season. While I love the classic stories that remind readers of the hope and charity Christmas should inspire, the stories in this collection all had Jesus at their core. There were some that felt a tad off to me theologically, but I still appreciated the fact that Christ was the focal point. My favorite in the collection was βThe Other Wise Manβ by Henry van Dyke. It was beautifully written, thought-provoking, and just lovely all around.

I love these stories, especially Christmas Day in the Morning by Pearl S. Buck, it reminds me of my father, who grew up on a farm during the Depression, and always makes me cry!

Dive into twenty Christmas Short Stories that take into account the true meaning of Christmas. These stories are from different areas of the world. Some are classics and some are newer.
While, I enjoyed these stories, I don't think all of them would be suitable for children. They are spiritually inspired.
This was first published in 2014.
Thanks to Netgalley, and Plough Publishing for the Kindle Version of the book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
π Happy Reading ππ
