- Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2015Now that some of the Dragonlings, Roam And Alice are growing and can talk, walk and fly their personalities are emerging. They are captivating , smart, energetic and driving their parents mad just like all parents of tots their age! Thier parents are the the Dragon Lords of Valdier and their friends the Curizan and the Sarafin. These dragonlings, catlings and energy harnessing kids are cute , lovable, endearing and about to get into some real trouble! You see Ariel, wife of Mandra, reminded her Earth-born friends about Christmas. When the spouses found out, it turned into a real Christmas Party, complete with competitiveness in the "My Lights are bigger then your Lights" campaign! The Christmas Stories abound including a new one just for Valdier, "The Old Dragon of the Mountain". Kids being kids they take the "Old Dragon" story to heart and are soon off on an adventure to find him. Only they did not tell their parents and oh yeah, they are off by THEMSELVES! Frantic parents follow racing to catch up! Add in a Mountain, and an Earthquake, the recipe for disaster is born!
Well developed characters from previous Dragon Lords books, competition, unforeseen twists, and a great story will keep you enthralled til the end. I love Ms Smith books, have read most of them and looked forward to this one eagerly. I was not disappointed! Can't wait to find out what happens to theses bright, talented, kids with special abilities!
Susan, We've seen them at Easter, Halloween and Christmas! What about Independance Day or Cinco De Mayo, St Patrick's Day or New Years??????
- Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2015Overall Rating: 4.5 Rockin’ ★★★★☆
Oh my goodness gracious, the Dragonlings are now mischievous toddlers. They set out to befriend and save the old Dragon in the Mountain in S.E. Smith’s, A Dragonlings Magical Chrimstas! It’s a captivating journey with new and old friendship, bonding and strengthening.
Everyone is gathering for the first time to celebrate Christmas on Valdir. All the dragon lords, their mates, family and friends are joining in on the fun. The competition between them is comical and heart-warming. The hanging of an excessive number of lights causes the palace power grid to be over-taxed. Poor Trelon is still pulling his hair out (its grown some now after his feisty little twins quit sneezing fire at him)! Paul and Morian are expecting their first child, and even the Goddess stops by for a visit with Phoenix.
This is a pleasurable, fun, relaxing read reminding us of the importance of family and friends. It gives a small glimpse at future books that Ms. Smith might write for us too. The budding love between Baliant and Alice and the fortitude of leadership exhibited by Zohran are awe inspiring! Even the hyper twins, Jade and Amber learn a valuable lesson. I truly enjoyed the moments of laughter that I found while reading this short novella. Thank you, S.E. Smith for the fantastic world of the Dragonlings!
- Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2015I love all S.E. Smith's books and her dragonlings magical Christmas is no exception. For a short story it was wonderful, she has such vibrant characters and they are so loveable and competitive, you just have to love those alpha males, Vox is one of my favorites. As it is with all her books this one is also a keeper. A truly wonderful Christmas story. Fans of the dragon series will love the interaction with the children as they have been given such an important part in the story and their characters have been given such personalities, it is nice to see how they have been growing up. I hope you will enjoy this book as much as I did. Thank You S.E. Smith for a great early Christmas gift. Laughter, love and family is really what Christmas is all about.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2019This is a sweet and platful take of childrens adventures. Each child with their own gifts and learning valueable lessons of life snd friendships too.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2024Enjoyed this holiday story especially the kids adventures.
Can not wait for the others and when they grow up and have their own novels.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2015This book was late in coming but talk about Christmas in July! To use a favorite Texasism, hot damn that was a good book!
I woke up this morning and couldn't wait to dive in. The Dragons of Valdier are my favorite series by SE Smith. I love her shorts on the dragonlings and this book developed them further and we begin to see an inkling of the future, as well as some friends from the past. Thanks so much for Mel, Calo and Cree and a small mention of their daughter, Hope.
Integrating the human custom of Christmas into the Cease Fire between the three star systems was a good idea. Watching the men try to outdo each other after watching a certain American film dealing with the holiday was inspired. The Old Dragon on the Mountain... tears. I wept buckets. This is such a great book to fill in between the last story and the next one. I now sit on the edge of my seat waiting to see what happens with the Dragon, and I demand Asim and Pearl's story. Plus, we never got to see with Paul and Morian with their special Christmas gift. (Does anyone else have trouble with not giving spoilers?)
Even if this is the first Dragon book you pick up, you will easily fall in love with all of the characters and want to see how they got to this moment. Do yourself a favor and read all of the books in all three of the series.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2023This book was fun. It was well written as always and it was really nice to know how all the characters have developed. The kids adventure were great! I loved the audio book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Quelle bonne idée
Série légère, divertissante. Une bonne idée de mettre en scène les enfants de nos héros. Il s'agit de la fête de Noël que nos amies de la terre ont décidé de fêter dans ce nouveau monde. Tout le monde se prête au jeu alien compris :decos musique. ..etc Les enfants sont ravis, et les voilà partis sauver l'esprit de Noël ! Quelle aventure du stress et de la solidarité c'est vraiment bien écrit et c'est une magnifique histoire
A lire

5.0 out of 5 stars Cutest story ever written!
I love all these characters but these Dragonling stories just melt my heart. This one was so so good. I loved how they banded to get her and how each one was special in its own right. I can read these over and over again. Favourite one so far. Looking forward to Christoff's story. Highly recommend.

As always I love S.E. Smith and I've read everything she writes. Love it all but I especially love the dragonlings and their friends. I love the humour and the sadness and I love love love the human women who give these aliens a run for their money
