I started reading this book just after Christmas, but maybe that's when I ought to have finished it...
My favourite poem in the whole wide world is "A Visit from St. Nicholas", and so, of course, I've already read this poem before - but it was my first time reading the other poems.
As for the stories, of course I knew the plot of "The Nutcracker" and "A Christmas Carol" (oh, poor Tiny Tim!), but I don't think I've ever read them before. But now I have, and I'm glad that I bought the book!
Every story or poem is illustrated with beautiful pictures, and it's a joy just looking at them without reading the stories (although that does add a bit to it). I'd definitely recommend this book - despite some of the pages being a bit boring... :)

This was the perfect Christmassy read to warm your heart on a cold winter's night. L.M. Montgomery, Louisa May Alcott and L. Frank Baum were my favourite of the stories.

I enjoyed reading this throughout the month of December! Some of the stories were VERY long and in depth, truly the original story that many know and love. The illustrations were beautiful as well.
