Now that I've discovered it, I really want this messed up poem to be a seasonal classic. It's absolutely hilarious 😂

Have I mentioned how much I hate short stories? 😆 Everything was going so well until everybody died.

My husband and I read a few more stories and poems from this Christmas treasury every year (I got it for him for Hanukkah as part of our used book gift tradition). #Christmas #WinterHolidays #Winter #ShortStories

Meh. Most of these short stories I‘ve heard before and many of the poems are just well-known Christmas carols. I was expecting a wider variety of cultures represented but it‘s very much centered around England and America.

Probably better suited for a religious reader as well.

I skipped the excerpt of A Christmas Carol since the novel is on my December TBR anyway. 😅

ravenlee I mean, how much can you really excerpt from A Christmas Carol? It‘s not that long to begin with. 2y

MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm @ravenlee Lol, right? I don‘t know why they felt the need to have it in there. They had another Christmas themed Dickens short, so he was represented already… 🤷‍♀️ 2y
