Customer Reviews

This is a curious book of older Christmas stories. They are not terribly religious, and some are even clever--though a few are just plain weird.
While entirely appropriate for children, the stories are old-fashioned in values and attitude, so there are clear class distinctions, derogatory mentions of Jim Crow, and traditional gender roles. None of this was overwhelming (passing mentions and inferences, mostly), but if you're really sensitive to any of those things, you might want to give the book a once-over before reading it to your kids.
There is an active table of contents. There are a few scanning errors that appear like typos throughout the text.
Stories contained herein are:
The Night Before Christmas
The Night After Christmas
Santa Claus Does Not Forget
The Fairy Christmas
The Ball Game
Christmas Day
The Doll's Christmas Party
Grandma's Christmas Gifts
Mama's Happy Christmas
The Christmas Carol of the Birds
A Turkey for One
Little Christmas Carollers
What Happened Christmas Eve
Susy's Christmas Present
Santa Claus's Letter
A Ragged Christmas Feast

I did not know a lot of Christmas stories so it was interesting for me to read this book. Thank you.
