This collection of Christmas poems and stories includes some familiar selections, as well as pieces that will be new to most readers. Interspersed among the stories are pages that provide bits of background information about Christmas traditions. In contrast to the bright color photographs included in these sections, the softly shaded vignettes that illustrate the bulk of the volume seem pale and bland.
