A: disappointment. I didn’t really like any of the stories, they were all pretty unrealistic and this definitely isn’t always a bad this but in this case it was too much

This was good. I had read this book a while ago and this was a reread for me. Enjoyed it but read a lot more critically this time around. Loved the dogs are for christmas story and i felt that the worst story was the last one called the Christmas fairy.

I am not usually a fan of short stories I find they can be slightly annoying as they are cut a bit too short. However with this book I really enjoyed them and found they were the perfect set of stories to get me into the christmas spirit. Each one I enjoyed listening to and found I wanted to hear the end of. My favourites had to be the christmas fairy, a dream christmas and dogs are for Christmas. Definitely a book I would recommend to get you in the christmas spirit. xxx

Read the first two stories and disliked both of them. The first one was honestly more 'creepy' than 'charming', I thought it was heading to some kind of assault. I know most christmas stories are meant to be unbelievable/magical but I just couldn't get through that. 2/5 stars
