There are so many descriptives that could be applied to this book of short stories. Inspiring, entertaining, emotional, uplifting.....pretty much any positive you could apply. Each story is of a family and their holiday. The whole book can easily be read in one sitting, but you're sure to read them more than once as you share them with your family. Read and share, that's what the holiday spirit is for.....sharing.

Thank you NetGalley for this arc!!

I love Christmas, and this book definitely put me into a festive mood!

I’ll definitely check out more by this author!

Twelve New Christmas Stories by Lee Allen Hill, Diane Kinel-truelove and Terry Broxson in the book you get a dozen new Christmas stories that usually involve an animal from a boy who fights of a wildcat with his Christmas dinner and gets so much more in return to a talking cat who tells why the Arapaho celebrate with the Christmas tree. What makes this collection unique is not all the stories are fiction there’s one where a family wins $1 million and that is not only a true story but so funny I love the dad so much then there’s the one about the Christmas Caralers, but weather fiction or nonfiction all the stories are entertaining and so worth reading. To pick a favorite would be so hard to do because so many of these stories are just awesome and leave you with such a happy feeling at the end. This is a great book to share with family and friends for Christmas especially those who are younger I really enjoyed this book and couldn’t stop reading it once I started there are multiple authors and all very talented. #NetGalley, #LeighAllynHill, #DianeCannellTrueLove, #TerryBroxson, #twelveNewChristmasStories,

I love Christmas and I love reading so these two go hand in hand in this book. Short stories, easy to read, fun and entertaining. This book had all the Christmas spirit you could want and more. I sat down to start reading this and I couldn't stop. It is a wonderful mixture of short stories and one that will surely get you in the mood for Christmas.

Thank you NetGalley and Atmosphere Press for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book.

12 New Christmas Stories is a heartwarming collection of short stories, ranging from touching tales of family traditions to humorous adventures. I loved the mix of fiction and nonfiction and the uniqueness of the stories provided. Reading this definitely got me in the Christmas spirit and inspired me to seek other Christmas short stories of the same caliber and style(s).

I would love to read more from these authors.

I love to read Christmas stories that are not focused on the romance and more of the magic that this holiday brings.

Most stories are set in the last century, which just adds to the nostalgia of this book, and they are short stories that focus on charming and sweet tales that happened around Christmas.

Each story is unique and they are all heartwarming. If you want to add a bit of magic to the Twelve Days of Christmas this year, I think this book is perfect for getting to escape form everyday troubles each evening (especially if you add a hot cup of cocoa or tea).
