Short stories are always a good time and I loved the holiday theme. However, there were quite a few stories in here I just didn't like and skimmed through. Below is a list from the collection of the stories I would categorize as 5 stars:
Midnights - Rainbow Rowell (Cute opening to the book and really got me in the holiday spirit!)
Angels in the Snow - Matt De La Pena (I cried, enough said)
Polaris Is Where You'll Find Me - Jenny Han (Honestly, felt a bit short but still a great holiday read)
It's a Yuletide Miracle, Charlie Brown - Stephanie Perkins (Favorite in the whole book!!)
Your Temporary Santa - David Levithan (I enjoyed the LGBTQIA+ rep in this one)
What the Hell Have You Done, Sophie Roth - Gayle Forman (Yay for Hanukkah story!)
