CHRISTMAS BOOK REVIEW: Classic Christmas: True Stories of Holiday Cheer and Goodwill

Edited by Helen Szymanski. These are short, true stories of people discovering the Christmas spirit, in the vein of the Chicken Soup for the Soul volumes. This volume includes the unique perk of profiling some of the small towns where the stories take place, from the area's founding to its heyday and what the town is like today.

If you enjoy the type of story described, this is the book for you. It has a delightful "old world" illustrated cover and is nicely bound; it would make a good gift book for someone who likes heartwarming Christmas stories. It's nothing out of the ordinary, however, so if you're looking for "something different," it may not be your cup of tea.
