Book review: Under the Mistletoe and other stories


 Book review:


๐ŸŒธ This book is a collection of short stories related to Christmas and New Year events when Santa comes to deliver gifts to all his children. The stories comprises of hope, love, healing, new beginnings , acceptance, and much more.


๐ŸŒธ Each story embarks a different lesson and diving new horizons. The book talks about loss and grief, bondings, new blooming romance and many more.


๐ŸŒธThis book teaches us that as long as we do not allow ourselves to take a step forward, suffering will always be our master. 


"Naughty or nice" was childish and heartwarming. It is a brilliant stroke by the author as it attempts to explain how to interact with a child on a topic that should be implemented at a young age. The other stories are good as well.


๐ŸŒธMy favourite story was “A Foggy Memory”. I found the main character Samantha visiting Benakatti to be very relatable to some of the experiences that I have recently gone through. Some more stories that I liked are - ‘Elfish Grinch’, ‘Naughty or Nice’ & ‘Secret Santa’. 


๐ŸŒธ The author has beautifully presented the stories and a bit of poetry sections inbetween. All the stories are heart warming.The poetry pieces include- ‘The Pudding Story’, ‘The Ginger bread Experiment’, & ‘ The Unwarm Welcome’.


๐ŸŒธ I loved reading these stories and would recommend this to all who like reading short stories.


๐ŸŒธ Happy Reading!
