Some of them were okay, but many of the stories had nothing to do with Christmas.

While all of the stories are filled with the cosiness and cheeriness of Louisa May Alcott, I found them very repetitive. It felt like reading the beginning of Little Women again and again.

This touching collection of stories brought me close to tears several times. I’m a little sorry that the book is finished.

I feel like Ebenezer Scrooge for saying that I didn't like these stories. After all, everyone loves Little Women (which I liked it but wasn't my favorite) so of course a collection of Christmas tales by Louisa May Alcott would be delightful to read at the holidays, right? For me, not so much. These stories felt like eating a cake that looked irresistible but was actually way too sweet.
