A lovely collection of mostly delightful stories, poems, and carols. I read it starting a day or two after Thanksgiving--just one story/poem/etc. per day.

It's a great way to discover what sorts of stories you like!

"A Country Christmas" by Louisa May Alcott. Slightly silly and the romance is a leetle uncomfortable to my modern sensibilities, but the aesthetic is pure New England Christmas nostalgia and the hero pretty much looks like Grizzly Adams, so folks I'm not knocking it...



Altogether very quaint and wholesome.

This book holds many great stories, poetry and even Christmas carols written by some of the most famous authors: Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Louisa May Alcott, Charles Dickens, Clement Moore, Elizabeth Barrett Browning and Hans Christian Anderson among the few.

It's a very enjoyable read for the holiday season and I recommend it highly.

I purchased this book from Amazon

Evergreen Christmas is a wonderful collection of stories. I loved reading these short stories. This ebook would be wonderful for someone who only has a short amount of time to read. Here is a summary of some of my favorites. Tilly’s Christmas - what a beautiful story the man overhearing the children talk and leaving special presents on their doorstep Christmas morning. Johnnies Christmas going to grandmas house was fun going home was not. A Visit from St. Nicholas Everyone loves the night before Christmas recitation. Clorindas Gifts she sends a letter about her life, offering forgiveness for a wrong and she found the meaning of giving of herself.A Christmas Turkey and how it came by Louisa Mae Alcott story said people are very gentle and kind at Christmastime. I love all the stories that use all the words of song Such as Little town of Bethlehem. Little Gretchen and the Wooden Shoe by Elizabeth Harrison was such a beautiful story of a little girl wishing for a toy who finds happiness and joy in a little bird who finds a place out of the cold in the wooden shoe.

I received this book through Netgalley for review.
This is a compilation of excerpts from classic holiday tales, poems and hymn lyrics perfect for your seasonal reading during Christmas.
I recommend it for the busy holidays. Grab a moment for yourself and dip in and out of it whenever you need some downtime.

A sweet Christmas collection of short stories and poems. Some of my favorites were those by L.M. Montgomery

[Yannick Tricia · Rating 4 out of 5]

An evergreen Christmas is a beautiful collection of Christmas short-stories, poems by authors like: Lucy Maud Montgomery, O. Henry, Louisa May Alcoot, Anne Bronte, Henry W. Longfellow...

Tilly's Christmas by Louisa May Alcott was one of my favorite. Tilly is a sweet girl living with her mother struggling to make ends meet but her story reminds us the importance of kindness. "He can give you one thing, Tilly the pleasure of doing good. That is one of the sweetest thing in life and the poor can enjoy it as well as the rich."

I also like Christmas Bells by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow a poem written during the Civil War for his son.

It was also a pleasure to readThe gift of the Maggi by O. Henry again this year!

I received a copy of this book and this is an honest review.
