With such favorites as The Night Before Christmas, The Nutcracker, and The Story of the First Christmas tucked between its covers, it's sure to get plenty of use with every holiday season. Each of the nine stories is filled with an abundance of Yuletide magic and charm. Various featured illustrators paint inspired seasonal portraits adding to the festive spirit. The book offers a solid collection of holiday standards which every family that celebrates Christmas should have in its library. --George Laney

There are better Xmas books. September 23, 2004

As a Christmas collection go, it's fair at best. I bought this book because the list of illustrators sounded interesting.
Sometimes these compilations work, sometimes not. Unfortunately, it's a not in this case.
It does not showcase the listed illustrators' best work. Not surprising the best illustration is on the cover and its the ONLY one by Gustafson. And the stories are the same ones to be had in any of a million Christmas collections.
Collectors and libraries, don't waste your bookshelf space.
Treat this as a large Christmas card (and don't pay more than the cost of an Xmas card)to be given to young children and you won't be disappointed. And if the kids crayon in it, who cares.
