I've read this book one story at a time. Went faster than I thought it would. I'm going to give my thoughts on each story. I didn't know what to expect with any of the stories when I started them.

Midnights by Rainbow Rowell - Short and sweet. I'm glad this was only a short story because as much as I love Rainbow Rowell's books I'm not sure I would've liked this as one.

The Lady and the Fox by Kelly Link - Random. I wasn't sure what to think of this story after I finished it and now I'm sure it's one of the stories in the book I didn't like.

Angels in the Snow by Matt de la Pena - I liked this story. There's not really much else I can say about it other than I liked it.

Polaris is Where You'll Find Me by Jenny Han - What a stupid ending! I turned the page expecting more and nothing. I really hate when stories end like this. I think it would've been a good story had it had an actual ending.

It's a Yuletide Miracle, Charlie Brown by Stephanie Perkins - Another good story. I really liked North. I haven't actually read a book by Stephanie Perkins yet. I own three of them but I will be starting them soon.

Your Temporary Santa by David Levithan - This story was cute. What he did for his boyfriends little sister was really sweet. I would've liked to know what happened to their father though.

What the Hell Have You Done, Sophie Roth? by Gayle Forman - I've read four of Gayle Forman's books and one novella. I was looking forward to this story. It did not let me down. It was too short if anything.

Beer Buckets and Baby Jesus by Myra McEntire - This story reminded me a little of 'A Walk to Remember' by Nicholas Sparks. Obviously there are differences but I think I couldn't get into it as much because I kept making comparisans to Nicholas's book. I liked it, but it pales in comparison to A Walk to Remember and Jaime and Landon.

Welcome to Christmas, CA by Kiersten White - I liked this story. It was really good. I've never read a book by Kiersten before but I may have to look into some of her books now.

Star of Bethlehem by Ally Carter - Highly unlikely but I liked it. I don't even know why but I'm going to leave it at that.

The Girl Who Woke the Dreamer by Laini Taylor - Weird story. I wasn't sure if I liked it while I was reading it but at some point I started to want to know what happened at the end. I ended up liking it.
