When Ariel mentions another human holiday, the women get excited. They aren’t the only ones, though. The Dragon Lords and their friends, Vox, and Ha'ven, decide they want to be part of the planning this time. Things get a little out of hand when the men begin competing with each other to create the best Christmas ever for the Dragonlings, Roam, and Alice. Filled with tales of St. Nick, Rudolph, Frosty, and the newest tale of the Old Dragon of the Mountain, they are determined to light up the palace like never before and turn it into the new North Pole.Just when the women think they have everything under control, panic ignites when the Dragonlings, Roam, and Alice suddenly disappear just days before Christmas. What no one expects is for the children to take it upon themselves to go in search of the legendary dragon who has threatened to steal the Magic of Christmas.Now, their parents are in a race to find the Dragonlings before they lose them forever. Will they be able to find them and celebrate the magic of the season or will the Dragon of the Mountain keep them hidden forever?

    Now 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??????

    Overall 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!

    I 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 July 14, 2015

    This 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.
