Old Christmas by Washington Irving

medium-paced

2.0

Continuing in my Christmas-themed story read-a-thon, I picked this one up but found it to be dry and wholly unmemorable. The last time I read Washington Irving was in high school, and remember liking the writing quite well, or maybe it was just that particular story. Old Christmas is a series of short stories about traditions of Christmas and spending it with family and friends. My mind wouldn't stop drifting during this book, and I found it nearly impossible to focus on the message or characters at all.
