The Christmas Eve Tree
This frankly sentimental holiday title requires a suspension of disbelief to buy into the Christmas magic.
North Pole Ninjas
The garish cartoon illustrations and the ninja focus lead the unsuspecting to anticipate some sort of Christmas adventure…but no, it's just a heavy-handed message with messy meter and awkward rhymes.
Young Scrooge: A Very Scary Christmas Story
Stine certainly has fans, but this labored effort is not his best and, honestly, the first 50 pages, in which Rick brags about his mean antics, are more horrifying than the ghosts and zombies. Not recommended.
Mary Has a Baby
While the rhymes are a slight distraction, this is a pleasant additional purchase for those who want a version light on religious mysticism but with a happy message of "love, and peace, and light."

Kelley's watercolor cartoons are nicely done and humorous, but the story is just too one-dimensional.
The Berenstain Bears and the Christmas Angel
Deliberately imitating the art of the original books, this weak entry fails to capture the trademark humor and sass of the series.
