An uplifting collection of stories set at Christmas, filled with friendship, family and hope. I enjoyed all of them, especially Lenora Worth's that is connected to some of her other books. It has a theme of forgiveness that hit close to home. I liked how the gatherings in each story were unique to their settings, especially in the last one at a teen youth center. Reaching out to people who are alone and need hope and friendship was a lovely idea, especially at Christmastime. It was a good reminder to be hospitable. The tender romances included in each were sweet and squeaky clean.

Recommend for readers looking for light, inspirational stories. Fine for teens and up.

I loved the Christ.as Gathering. Three stories by three wonderful authors. I really needed a little Christmas and that's just what this books gave me. Each story was well written. I like the format each story was a quick read for me and just what I needed. Pick. Up this book and have a great day of reading. Thanks netgalley and Kensington Publishing for the gift of an arc in exchange fir my honest opinion of this week.

These three short Christmas stories in one volume make for entertaining reading during the holiday season, or any time of the year. Join three different families as they celebrate together while working through their problems and finding love. You may have to suspend some disbelief where the Amish part of the stories is concerned, since no Amish I have ever heard of live as some of these people do. Since the stories are brief, they also feel a bit rushed. But they are all clean and easy reads to quickly read through and get lost in.

How can you go wrong with a book that contains 3 stories instead of one?! I love Romance Anthologies and this one was perfect for celebrating Christmas in July. All three stories were wonderful, and the fact they were short allowed me to complete one whole story in one sitting which I liked. My only critique would be that I struggled to believe some of the love connections because they felt rushed for me, unfortunately. So for me, the romance didn't quite pull me in. That said, the stories were still wonderful with faith filled families, stories of second chances and forgiveness, and the love the family and community showed in these stories was something I truly enjoyed. All in all, a sweet read for celebrating Christmas during the Summer.

Three Christmas holiday romances, by three of the authors that I follow!
We get to attend a big reunion, and a fun scavenger hunt, thrown in opposites attract, non Amish and Amish, is it possible to go anywhere?
Then an Amish wedding, and a family reunion, two different events, but then add in an attraction, and a family feud. Oh, my sparks fly from a lot of directions!
The final one has some rebellious Amish teens, a music group, and a young woman defying her parents and going out where she shouldn't. Some recurring characters appear here, and full of wisdom, we watch as world get torn upside down, but with a glimmer of hope!
I enjoyed these quick reads!
I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Kensington, and was not required to give a positive review.

𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗖𝗛𝗥𝗜𝗦𝗧𝗠𝗔𝗦 𝗚𝗔𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗜𝗡𝗚 was a lovely holiday based anthology filled with love and holiday spirit. I enjoy reading these types of collections because they allow me to enjoy a quick and easy read between longer, heavier stories. They are also a great way to get to know new to me authors. In this particular book, I was familiar with all three authors and enjoyed each short story immensely. My favourite was 𝗛𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗹𝗹 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗲𝘀 by Rachel J. Good because I adore her Surprised By Love series which it is a spinoff of. I am giving this the judy.ann.loves.books stamp of approval, TBR and Enjoy!

A Christmas story in July?! Yes, please! This was a good story. I greatly enjoyed it. Don’t skip this one.
