Here's a wonderful collection of Christmas stories and poems celebrating all the warmth and joy of the holiday season.

"Yes, Virginia, There is a Santa Claus" is a kindly editor's reply to a young reader regarding the existence of Santa; "Silent Night" is the classic song read with meaning and reverence; "The Christmas Masquerade" is a charming tale of a magical Christmas Eve; "A Turkey for One" is a delightful tale of an exotic present; "Child Jesus" is a poem read with tender awe; "The Father Christmas" is a wry tale of Christmas Shopping; "A Christmas Prayer" is a pious, optimistic poem; and "A Visit from St. Nicholas" is the classic tale of Santa's visit.

Long bizarre fairy tale about costumes ruins it

What disappointed you about Christmas Classics for Kids?

The idea of a collection of stories is great, but the long story about children under a spell with costumes they could not take off is only related to Christmas tangentially and was strange and scary. My son hated it and made me turn it off. I later finished listening, and was surprised the ending of the story was a required marriage of one of the young daughters of the mayor. The turkey story was also strange. I think these two stories did not belong in this collection.
