#826 The Christmas Miracle- Rebecca Curtis
Quickly put, this story is about family dysfunction. In more detail it’s about a sugar addicted, schizophrenic woman with Lyme’s disease and her family at Christmas dealing with a pedophile Uncle and the too-often killing of family cats. Sounds fun, doesn’t it?
I’m sure somewhere this is an amusing story but I did not enjoy any part of it. I know all stories aren’t written to please, but there has to be something worth reading, right? I didn’t find anything here topic-wise that was enlightening, amusing, or in anyway enjoyable. It’s not that anything in here is too taboo to talk about, it’s just if you write about something as disdainful as pedophilia, there should be a purpose to it rather than just: this is just a character flaw that we are kind of dealing with. It’s not that it shouldn’t be written, it’s that I don’t want to read it…at least not in the way it was delivered here.
