Candace Cameron Bure addressed the critics who left mean comments on her social media post featuring her family's Christmas photo.

The "Switched for Christmas" star took to Instagram Saturday and shared a festive family photo to mark the start of the year. However, her critics criticized every small detail they didn't like in the shot and Bure has had enough, so she addressed the backlash in a post on Facebook.

"I posted my family Christmas photo and sadly, there were so many unkind comments. Do you think it’s funny to criticize someone’s children? To make jokes about them? To critique our poses? The direction in which we are looking? Our physical appearance and facial expressions?" she wrote.

"I wished blessings upon everyone as I shared it in the spirit of a happy new year, yet so many of you came back with jokes about our appearance and criticism of what you thought would have been a better photo. Shame on you. It doesn’t matter if you’re 10 or 90 years old, rude is rude. Be better than that. I’m praying for humanity. Manners and respect. If you don’t like something, just move on. There are people and real feelings behind every screen.”

The "Fuller House" star is aware that others might disagree with her and instead encourage her to just ignore the haters. She addressed them ahead in a postscript.

"P.S. Please don’t tell me to ignore the 'haters.' There were plenty of well meaning people who thought it would be funny to point out things and share their commentary, 'with love.' Umm... that’s not love. That’s rude. Try kind. It looks good on everyone," she concluded.

It wasn't the first photo from the 44-year-old Hallmark star that was heavily criticized by the netizens. In September, she shared a picture of herself with her husband Valeri Bure, and the latter’s hand was visibly cupping her breast. Many found the picture inappropriate, but the celebrity mom ignored the bashers and wasn't sorry about the incident at all because the man involved was her husband.

“For all of the Christians that are questioning my post with my husband’s hand on my boob — my husband of 24 years — thinking it was inappropriate, it makes me laugh because it’s my husband," she said in a video on Instagram. "He can touch me any time he wants, and I hope he does. I’m sorry if it offended you — I’m actually not sorry."
