Christmas is a holiday that celebrates the birth of a CHILD. Yes, the holiday is for adults, too -- but the OP seems to want to leave children out of everything.
I think that children, adults, parents, and single persons are all "actually nice" -- except when they aren't.
Venting about a large group of people because of problems with some individuals within that group isn't nice. Although the title of the OP implies that the writer only had a problem with parents who spoil their children, her long list of complaints included items that are a part of normal socialization for children -- not spoiling them at all. Virtually any good parent could find themselves on that list.
