This was a sweet collection of Christmas stories! Since there are five individual stories tucked inside these pages, I'll review and rate each one.
OThis was a sweet collection of Christmas stories! Since there are five individual stories tucked inside these pages, I'll review and rate each one.
O Come All Ye Faithful // 5 stars This was definitely my favorite story! I love the story of the Christmas Truce of 1914, and this was a personal look into the life and heart of one of the soldiers present.
Peace on Earth // 3.5 stars The longest story in the book, this wasn't quite what I expected. I found that I couldn't connect well with either sister or their broken-home background. The theme of forgiveness was nicely done, though.
Silent Night // 4 stars I snickered and smiled my way through this story, which dealt well with the reality of mental illness. I would've liked more of Fay's backstory, but it was otherwise a sweet read.
The Gift Goes On // 3.5 stars Though sweet, this story felt like a chapter out of something longer. The group of friends were fun to read about, but I kept expecting more more about the mysterious gifts mentioned near the beginning.
O Christmas Tree // 3 stars A cute story of a family going out to a farm to get their Christmas. While I enjoyed this one, I was confused by the spray bottles and the sister's attitude. The farm parts were fun though!

Last year, I won a giveaway of a bundle of audiobooks/dramas. This was included and when I saw that it was Chrismasy (and connected to WWI, according to Goodreads:D) I wanted to listen right away! Unfortunately, it slipped my mind...until this year. I got to listen to it back in November though, and I loved it oh, so much!
I mean, c'mon y'all, there's WWI, there's a modern-day veteran (who may or may not be an amputee and a hero) and there's postal workers. Not to mention, a cute kid, a heartbroken schoolteacher, and a letter that will touch them all. <3
I truly enjoyed this little story with its endearing message of light and bringing light to the darkness! <3
(Also...in case you're confused...Margaret Hill McCarter wrote the original book, and Lamplighter Theatre did the audiodrama. So I'm technically reviewing the audio. xD)
