Review: Dear Santa, I'd like a polished version of this for Christmas!

I love  Christmas stories but...I don't love poorly written, highly repetitive, grammatical nightmares which masquerade as serious Christmas stories. Look, what you have here is a decent tale which is, unfortunately, destroyed by lousy storytelling. This story reads like a first attempt rough draft rather than a somewhat polished piece of literature. My suggestion to the author: Take this book out of sales circulation for now and ask a number of people (preferably not friends or family) to read it and make comments about it. Rewrite the book using suggestions from the folks you asked to read it. Get yourself a professional editor and follow his/her advice. Hopefully, you will come away with a better product, one which is a pleasure to read. This really could be a charming little story but as it's written now, it's almost laughable. Sorry, but I can't, in good conscience, give this one more than two stars
