25 short stories with a Christmas connection. These stories run from 2 stars through 5 stars, but overall I enjoyed the entire book. I chose 3 stars because I think the book is worth buying but didn't find every story a stellar read. However, enough of them were excellent that the purchase was worth it.

This anthology is made of stories linked by the Christmas season.
I found that, while not all the stories were expressly to my taste, they were, by far and large, well executed and well edited.
I was also pleasantly surprised that most of the tales were not cloying, and a number of them ventured into darker themes.
It was a quick read, but a good one.
