Maybe two stars is a bit rough, but this is basically several diary/journal entries and then some interesting metaphysical parables. The one I’d recommend was The Child’s Story since it actually made me tear up a bit.
Honestly, these stories were disappointing in comparison to Dickens' other works and didn't have the same charm as A Christmas Carol. I listened to them in audiobook format while wrapping gifts, which definitely added some cheer to it, and I enjoyed some parts—like the childlike wonder in The Chr

Not as Christmasy as I would have liked. More like over-long essays and preachy short stories that may or may not have a Christmas theme.
Great ghost stories in the first essay, though.
I felt very mixed on this book, which is a pity considering Dickens heritage the definitive Christmas writer. The first two tales quite frankly are unreadable, some pretentious plodding narrative about a Christmas tree. From 'The Poor Relatives Story' onwards however, things begin to improve. The ta
