This is my third coloring book by Christopher Hart. I love the idea of Chibi characters set in a Christmas scenario. Chibi is a form of Manga characters but are cute and adorable with distinct characterizations which set them apart from the standard Manga style.

The characters are cute just as the title says. There are Chibi girls and boys, Santa and his reindeer. Even some Chibi pets and stuffed animals.

While there are lots of designs showing Christmas trees and Santa, the book is secular in nature. It does not explore religious themes. There are outside scenes with snow which should be fun to color as the weather turns cold.

Unlike my previous books where the backgrounds were merely backdrops, in this coloring book the backgrounds are an integral part of each design.

The designs are detailed because of the backgrounds. Otherwise, the characters are fun and fairly easy to color. They are not what I would characterize as intricate with small areas to color.
