 Buy a good book instead December 29, 2008

What a let down........a book of short stories that are twee and unsatisfying. Don't waste your money. Not in the same league as most of her other books.
 I loved it December 23, 2008

it is the day before Christmas Eve, and this book has really got me into the Christmas Spirit. She writes families and their complicated expectations around Christmas with her usual sharp observations, the characters are great. I think the only disappointment is that sometimes you would like to spend a little more time with the characters!
The only downside is that there are a couple of stories with mistresses getting fed up with their affairs, perhaps just one of these stories should have been included!
Otherwise, it is just wonderful!

I have always enjoyed Maeve Binchy but this one let me down. VERY short stories - nothing to get to grips with and one that I put down for several days in between readings (unheard of with this author).

Thankfully I didn't spend my hard earned cash on this book otherwise I might have asked for a refund. Maybe the fact I read this book at a time far removed from Christmas (Tenerife in September to be precise) didn't help.
Being a fan of Maeve Binchy I was thoroughly disappointed to find that rather than a good meaty read it was just a series of short stories. Granted all well written but none lasting more than a few pages.
 Heart-warming stocking-filler November 3, 2008

In this delightful collection of short stories, Maeve Binchy explores the theme of a family Christmas from every possible angle.
There are the usual suspects; grumpy grandparents, bolshie teenagers and mums who've reached their wit's end, but Binchy also finds time for the newly separated, the recently widowed and those for whom Christmas is "just another day".
Each story is beautifully self-contained, with the characters brought to life in a few well-crafted sentences. Each domestic crisis is acutely observed and resolved with good humour and not a little ingenuity. My only criticism is that these stories were originally published elsewhere and some of the details can give them a slightly dated feel.
This book is aimed unashamedly at the Christmas market with a middle-of-the road female readership in mind. Heart-warming without being tacky, this is safe stocking-filler, with the short story format ideally suited to being "dipped into" over the holiday period.
