This was a perfectly lovely collection of holiday themed short stories that just didn't hit home for me. While most were fairly well written with solid holiday tropes, none of them were strictly amazing. Granted, I suspect that many of these stories would make more sense, or be more meaningful, if I was more familiar with the other books by these authors. If I was more immersed in the various mythos of these characters, perhaps the stories would have been more dynamic. In short, these make a pleasant fireside read for the season, but this isn't the place for deep plots and major character work.
