I had fun reading this during the holiday season. The stories ranged from heartfelt to slapstick. Nice mixture. I enjoyed it.

Some of the stories were great and i really liked Harley Quinn as the hostess! But the last few comics were very meh (the very last one was a bunch of over sexualized christmas themed catchphrases and just a whole mess to be honest)

Was mainly interested in the Eisner award winning story "Good Boy" in selecting this one as a quick read during the Holiday season. Enjoyed the entire collection. My only quibble is that the second half of collection is much darker and violent, especially the Harley Quinn's redemption of Santa story, than the first half which features humorous and sentimental stories. I would have preferred the darker half to lead off and end on the lighter note for a Holiday uplift one expects during the end of the year. A very small quibble indeed!

This was surprisingly diverse in it's showing of winter holidays from cultures around the world. Good job, DC!

I did have a soft spot for the Batman-centric ones though, my favorites have to include the first story, "The Last Minute" which centered around the Super Sons (Damian Wayne and Jon Kent) as well as the holiday team-up of Batman and Detective Chimp entitled "The Night We Saved Christmas", also the dark horse but soon instant favorite "A Flash Christmas Carol", and finally the reprint of "Good Boy", first introduction of Ace in the DC Rebirth universe.

Still hate Kenan (aka Chinese Super-man), he's still a himbo. Although, I do concede his taste in Chinese desserts is on-point. Doesn't make him a good superhero or person tho.

This graphic novel was super cute. Normally I would not be a big fan of all the cheesiness that is contained in this book, but it works for these DC Christmas tales. The biggest highlight was seeing Jon Lane Kent ( Superboy) and Damian Wayne (Robin) spending the holiday together! They really set the bar high for friendship goals.

The whole thing gets a 3.5 but Superman & Batman in "The Last Minute" gets 5 stars.

These were enjoyable. Not gonna lie, I read this mostly (ok entirely) for the Jon and Damian story which is the one I gave 5 stars. It was incredibly cute! You get such a great feel for the relationship between Damian and Jon and how that's progressed. There's an adorable Jingle All the Way esque subplot with Clark trying to buy the toy Jon really wants on Christmas Eve. He can't get it because Damian buys the last one and gives it to Jon. So incredibly cute! Also, there's also an adorable moment where Clark asks Bruce if he would like to play. Loved this!

The others weren't memorable enough to really like or dislike. "For The Dog Who Has Everything" was clearly a metaphor for Jon maybe feeling distant from his Kryptonian heritage. It was okay but nothing that really moved me.

Batman &a Detective Chimp "The Night We Saved Christmas" did absolutely nothing for me.

Wonder Woman &a Constantine in "Dreaming of a White Christmas" was pretty good. Not a lot was done with Diana. There's a interlude where she talks about the holiday traditions on Themyscira and that was great! I wish I could've gotten more of that.

Flash "A Flash Christmas Carol" reads like a typical storyline I would expect from the Christmas filler ep on the CW show. I'm surprised no one said "God bless us everyone one" at the end.

New Super-Man in "Day of Returning" was intriguing. I definitely want to check that character out.

Batwoman "Light In Dark", the writing for Kate felt stilted which made me sad because I was actually interested in the plot.

The Titans "What a Year For a New Year" was pretty okay. Roy talking about his addiction was moving.

Batgirl & Nightwing "I Don't Wanna Be Late" was cute but literally a footnote. Not sure why they even bothered including it.

Green Lanterns "The Epiphany" was Simon and Jessica going through trials to prove they can be Green Lanterns. Full confession, I've never been interested in Green Lantern stories. No matter who's holding the ring, I'm just not that interested. That being said, I'm sure there's something here for people who are interested in the Green Lantern.

Aunque hubo muchas historias cortas que no me interesaban, la manera en que están hiladas es genial, parece tal cual un show navideño típico.
Mi historia favorita por supuesto, los super sons.
