It's like Christmas in July came early for me, and I'm loving my holiday vibes

I'm not a huge fan of short stories but I was pleasantly surprised by these ones. They were well written and I had fun reading them. They were a welcome change from series I've been reading for years. Definitely recommend it! Wonderful holiday reading. ...more

Very cute.

My favorite story was probably Rainbow Rowell's story because for some reason I couldn't get that out of my head.

Although I did like some others (Charlie Brown, Christmas, CA), overall it was very cute and thankfully!!! I finished before Christmas :)
