Wonderful. Christmas traditionThis was a lovely way to spend the evening the story was sweet and allowed the children to get ready for Santa's arrival.
Very old and very dated collection of short stories that don't hold up today. The only one worth the time is the classic The Night Before Christmas.
FrivilousI did not enjoy the other stories. I guess I had hoped for something more meaningful. They were all about kids getting toys.
I love Christmas storiesI choose this rating because I love Christmas stories a lot of these are up lifting . I would recs this to anyone who also loves Christmas stories or has children.
Love reading this around Christmas time!
Hot or missThere ate a few really good stories here. Some are sweet or funny but there are some that ate just strange or a tad insulting.
Nice collection of children stories surrounding Christmas time.
Since it was published in 1903, the stories were pretty cheesy, and pretty much the same. No wonder "The night before Christmas" was such a big hit. It was way better than any other children's stories up to that point.
Really enjoyed this collection of sweet little Christmas stories...definitely some to share with the kids next year, since many stories are simple reminders to stop thinking of yourself over the holidays, etc.
Some of these stories are really cute but many are only about a page long without a real plot. However, all of them are about doing nice things for other people at Christmas and that there is more to Christmas than getting presents. If you are reading this one story a night then it will be fine but if you try to read several in succession small children will lose interest quickly.
Hilove5starseveryoneit is fun happyand good to read as A FAMILY by breana Todda third grader
While these stories were pretty simple, and unheard of by me other than the first one, The Night Before Christmas, they were enjoyable Christmas read-aloud stories for my daughter, which brought back ideas of a simpler time, when one gift could be plenty, when a family meal was cherished, when manners were a requirement, and when charity was desired, and when love and peace were the true meaning of Christmas.
I enjoy the reading and seeing the play or movie also during the Christmas Season, it's a family tradition.
I LOVED this book I chose this rating because it is a wonderfully book and it has you under stand things like sibling rivalry. I LOVED this book because it shows both sides and I also LOVE Christmas and it's story's are wonder full
Though the first chapter of the book was true to the classic children's poem, I found little along the lines of things you'll remember from the rest of the book. I mean, besides it's most notable title namesake which brought me to this book - not once, but twice - I did like "Twas the Night After Christmas" and "Santa Claus Does Not Forget". But, please forgo this book in it's Kindle form and instead find it elsewhere in paperback form if you plan to read it to family on Christmas Eve. But then
Will be reading this book all through the holidays...My son's love to read and love to be read to. I wanted this book because I wanted to read my grandson on of my favorite Christmas stories, but I will be reading to myself, reading to my children and grandchild, and maybe even the youth group at church.
Gag-worthy short stories intended for children. Any child I know would slap me silly if I tried to read them such sugary sweet morality tales with one-dimensional characters.
It seems kind of funny reading a Christmas book in the middle of July but...I've been reading a bunch of books on my kindle that I have never read before, and this was one of them. Better sooner than later I guess. This is a classic I'm guessing, and despite that, I'm going to give this book 2 stars because I thought it was okay. My rating was not affected by the Summer month. 2014-Summer-Reading-Review
Wonderful Christmas storiesI really enjoyed these sweet stories and will love reading them for the next holiday season.Get this book for a variety of stories about the Christmas season.
Book of Christmas tales from 1903 with The Night Before Christmas as the most well-known. These are very short Christmas tales with a moral and I enjoyed the stories - they gave an insight into a bygone age. I don't think the modern child would understand all the references such as a muff or the "ragged schools", but still may like the stories.
