I thought this book was ok. It had only 2 stories that made me cry, I expected more.

[Laurie Verwey · Rating 4 out of 5]

I always enjoy heartwarming stories about Christmas celebrations and reading about how some folks spend the season with their family and friends. I found some of the stories cheezy and a tad predictable. But overall, a nice, light read!

An easy and quick read for before the holidays! Some of the stories were adorable, while some were a bit cheesy. Either way, it was a fun read before Christmas.
