  “Ace Collins "Stories Behind the Best-Loved Songs of Christmas" is a collection of 30 plus essays givning some back story to, shockingly enough, popular and timeless Christmas carols. The carols featured are not poppy AOR faire but more traditional Catholic style songs. Though Rudolph and White Christmas are well represented. For the most part the stories weren't very exciting nor were they eye opening or have surprises. Mostly stories of happy coincidences that made brought the carol into the culture of the season. I'm sure non-Christmas songs have similar tales. This would be a nice book to have out on a coffee table during the Christmas season. Guests would enjoy getting persepctive or two on a few of their personal favorites. I just don't feel it works well as a Christmas read.
