I like to read short story collections to discover new authors and to take a break from longer books. They are great for distracting oneself for a half hour or so. However in this collection the only stories I enjoyed were from authors I already liked. There were some well crafted stories in this collection, but I didn't find them particularly enjoyable. Yes, they had a Christmas theme set in the holiday period and even about elements of the holiday celebrations but most of them seemed to turn dark ironic sad or a combination. They didn't leave much of a Christmasy feeling with me afterwards.
