Christmas wallpaper but an enjoyable hour or two!

I have read a number of Carolyn Davidson's books and so this is why I ordered this volume. Also, I do like Christmas anthologies. "A Christmas Child" was more YA than adult romance but it is a pleasant story with a moral message that love, loyalty, helpfulness and family is really what matters. I didn't particularly care for "The Christmas Dove" by Victoria Bylin; I've never read anything by her before and won't be seeking her out. The story was a little thin and I did not particularly like either the hero or heroine. In all honesty, I skipped over it pretty quickly to get to Cheryl St John's "A Baby Blue Christmas" which was charming and another sweet story of how important love and family are. This story, like Davidson's tells a moral tale but the story goes down smoothly and I liked the prickly and sad hero a lot. A nice way to spend an hour or two; nothing outstanding and nothing memorable but at least two of these stories are sweet, warming and gave a good feeling about the importance of goodness in a sometimes bad world.
