I really adored about three of these stories (the Rainbow Rowell one, the Christmas tree one and the Christmas Cafe one), and found most of the rest of them to be very damn solid, with just a couple that I wasn't into. So over all, four stars. There definitely were some trope-y things that I was starting to get tired of - lots of absent parents, meet-cutes, and first kisses. Nothing wrong with any of those in stories in general, but when taken all together like this it got to be a bit much. But

A fun, fluffy, and quick read!!
My favorite stories were "Midnights"; "It's a Yuletide Miracle, Charlie Brown", "What the Hell Have You Done, Sophie Roth?"; and "Star of Bethlehem." There were at least a couple that I simply didn't get, including "The Lady and the Fox" and "The Girl Who Woke the Dreamer." The best one hands-down was "Welcome to Christmas, CA." ...more

I don't usually love the short story anthologies, but this had some of my favorite young adult authors and it was fun for a Christmas time read. I listened to it on audio and the readers were great. The only one I would skip is Gayle Forman's short story because she really likes to use crass language, which I was shocked.

The stories in this collection that I loved (Rainbow Rowell's and Stephanie Perkins') would have made this a 5 star read all on their own. A few others were ok and a couple others were nearly DNF. Overall I enjoyed the collection and now have some clue about authors new to me and whether their books are for me.

Simply adorable. I enjoyed rainbow's the most of course, but the other stories were pretty good as well.

Cute little stories for the holiday season. Some where much more entertaining than others...and I discovered some authors that I hadn't read before. The story by Matt de la Pana sticks out in my mind with the emotion expressed.
