Review: Some stories were touching, others had snide remarks attached that took away from the joy of Christmas

I got this book for free on a daily deal. I would not pay for it, even $2.99. I was hoping for a fun, upbeat, hilarious, set of Christmas stories from children, since they say the craziest things. Instead I got some heartfelt stories, but more often than not, seemingly snide and rude remarks about peoples' kids and their lifestyles. I am not saying that I am not judgmental at times and that I love how everyone parents, but I don't write a book about peoples' bratty children.For example, Loc 1387 on kindle. Preface: A fairly young mom brought her daughter in to sit on Santa's lap, appears unwed, with her own mom in tow. '"TELL HER TO KEEP HER LEGS TOGETHER," the grandmother shouted. I felt like adding -- You should have told your daughter that about four years ago. I kept my mouth shut, like a good Santa.'Whether you think it or not, it's just rude. I think that little blurb sums up how I feel about this book.
