As a reader, I wouldn't be critical of a story someone wrote especially for me, especially one given anonymously where I have no clue who the writer is or what they're like and no basis to judge whether they'd welcome concrit. Their intention was good even if the execution wasn't perfect and I can always appreciate that they meant to make me happy without going into details.
As a writer, though, I always welcome detailed feedback, including specific criticism with examples, and frankly that'd be a really wonderful Christmas present to get. I realize I'm a bit odd in that area, though. :P
