I thought these stories were endearing and lovely. The Anne that we all fell in love with in the Green Gables Novels was splendid in this book. The shortness of the stories make them perfect read alouds for your daughter.

12 short Christmas stories, the first two from L.M. Montgomery's most famous series Anne Of Green Gables.
If you had only read the first book in the Green Gables series you might not want to read the second short story because it does spoil Anne's story a little. 3 of the stories were different and refreshing compared to most of the stories.
Some of the other stories which are not in the green gables series have the feeling that is heart-warming and sweet but honestly most of them were the same story over and over. A family can't afford gifts for their children and it looks that they will have nothing for christmas so someone gives them their gifts. Maybe it has to do with the time period they are written in but most of the stories got old real quick.
I love what I have read of the Anne Of Green Gables series but these short stories are not great. That said I would still try other short stories by L.M. Montgomery.
