I read these over the last couple weeks and wasn't super impressed with most of them. I think I could have liked the Gaskell one but kept falling asleep due to sheer exhaustion of the holidays. Perhaps that would have been the case with the others, too, had I tried a little harder to stay awake! Most of these are not centered around Christmas so can actually be enjoyed any time of year without needed to be in the "Christmas spirit". I'll give it another go in later years, I'm sure.

Published in its entirety for the first time since 1852, this shining collection of Christmas tales was originally selected by Charles Dickens for his periodical Household Words. Each story varies in theme and tone, with scenes of romance, theft, justice, and heart-warming family reunions set alongside haunting tales and chilling ghost stories, while topics addressed range from the meaning of Christmas to disability and race. Contributing authors include Elizabeth Gaskell, Edmund Saul Dixon, Edmund Oliver, and of course Dickens himself, making this a brilliant example of Victorian storytelling and an insightful reflection on the holiday season during the 19th century.
