I received an ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.First, I don't normally love novellas.  That said, I love Christmas stories, so I jumped at the chance to read this.  First I just wanted to read this solely for Jill Shalvis' Lucky Harbor story "Dream a Little Dream", which was fantastic as usual, but since I agreed to read the whole thing I did.  And I was pleasantly surprised.  All of the stories were unique and kept me wanting to read more.  I especially liked Molly Cannon's, "Have Yourself a Messy Little Christmas".  It was super cute and I loved that Linc was bulldozed by his mother and Dinah.  "Silent Night" by Hope Ramsay was the token miracle story, which you either like that idea or you don't.  I don't always, but it worked for this story.  "A Family for Christmas" was okay, but I wouldn't have picked this up for that story alone.  The story that on it's own I think was the weakest was "Every Year" by Kristen Ashley, since I've never read any of her Chaos series, it was hard to understand the interactions and dynamics of the characters. That said, of all of these authors that I haven't read before Kristen Ashley intrigued me a lot with Shy and Tabby.  I will eventually be reading that series from the beginning.
