2.5 stars. A big collection of Christmas poems and carols. Although there is a nice selection of poetry there are so many songs, I don't quite see the point of adding the lyrics without the music. Had this concentrated on the poetry and had some accompanying illustrations or photography it could have been a very nice book.

Loved the collection - one of the best anthologies of Christmas material I've come across. BUT ... the proofreading was horrible - definitely the worst I've ever seen in a print book. I kept a pencil nearby to make corrections. I'm giving it four stars based purely on content.

A nice collection of seasonal poems, songs and carols to browse through during the holidays, some of which I'd not read before.

This is a wonderful collection of Christmas poems and song! As other reviews have mentioned there are quite a few carols included. I always enjoy reading carols, especially when extra unknown-to-me verses are included! I really enjoyed reading this! I own about 15-20 Christmas poem anthologies and this is one that will definitely be pulled out again and again!

i'd give this five stars, but there isn't any of the original stories from the Bible in here. v. strange

This collection is becoming a yearly tradition.

A very nice Christmas compilation. The beginning was very enjoyable, but the further into it I got, the sadder it seemed to become. is like to own the first three quarters of this one!
