Such a charming read for the month of December. Louisa May Alcott delighted me once again.

Louisa May Alcott plus Christmas - What could be better? I loved this collection of Alcott's Christmas stories and poems. I read a little at a time so I could savor it.

Tavaly vettem meg a karácsonyi témája miatt, de amikor beleolvastam elég unalmasnak találtam és végül félbe is hagytam. Gondoltam idén adok neki még egy esélyt, hátha velem volt a gond és nem voltam olyan kedvemben, hogy ez a könyv megtetszhessen. Most végre kiolvastam, de őszintén szólva nem tetszett jobban második alkalommal sem. A történetek tematikája mind egyforma; hogyan oldják meg a szegények, hogy szép legyen karácsonyuk, illetve Isten megsegíti a jó keresztényeket. Elég sablonos szerintem, nem nyerte el a tetszésemet.

I have determined that I will read this book every year right before Christmas, it made me forget myself and made me step into the lives of the rich and poor alike which made me feel really happy and grateful for everything I have and made me feel ashamed of my yearly twinge of disappointment if I don't get something I really want for Christmas.
The stories were really adorable and unlike most books of short stories, I had the urge to sit down and read the whole book at once. Instead, I used it as a reward, I’d tell myself “Do two History questions on the Study Guide and then you can read another short story.”
I have always said I belong in the late 18th century, so I felt completely at home.

I loved this book. It's another Christmas book that I need to add to my collection. Louisa May Alcott wrote such beautiful stories.
