What was your worst christmas ever.

[HEIRESS]

I think mine is waiting to be written this year. we shall see. damage control could still occur but I aint doing all the work.

anyways, tell us a christmas horror story luv.

[Auton]

the christmas where 3 of my uncles died in sledding accident : - \

[befsquire]

the year i got the bmw -- i wanted a porsche.

[hitmonlee]

every xmas after age 8 or so.

why do mother's go so PSYCHO at xmas time.

i'd really like to ban xmas. at my house there is no xmas. only a summer solstice festival.

[paul jones]

I think every christmas is a big pile of crap after you stop getting Star Wars action figures and bikes then everyone thinks socks and deoderant will be just as good as a present to give you

(y)

[camo]

this will be my first christmas without my nan so I'm ready to be upset about that on the day :(

[Kid Presentable]

I just drink and try to enjoy being drunk, and that's about it. It usually works cause I hate Christmas to the point where I should be at a bar telling a barternder anyways..

[MC Moot]

well...my mother died...and really it's never been the same since...but we try,you know,we really fuck'n try...

[Kid Presentable]

Seriously moot you gotta get out of that. You'll never enjoy christmas if you keep trying to recapture something that's gone..it'll just fuck you and your family up each year. trust.

[jabumbo]

the year the grinch stole my town's christmas i thought would be terrible

but everyone ended up coming together and lifting each other with the spirit of christmas




it was almost fairy tale like. i ended up getting a power wheels in the end!

[abcdefz]

I think I've said this before, but...

Christmas was pretty much always disappointing from about age 10 or so onward. My parents would either get me gifts which were boring
as hell (underwear) or wildly inappropriate, pretty much dismissing my wish list entirely, because my interests (music, books, models, stamps)
were things they didn't think "normal" kids should pursue. Meanwhile, my brothers and sisters got more or less whatever they had asked for,
with an occasional "practical" thing thrown in.

One year, when I was in high school, they got me a sweater with little ducks on it. This, for a young man who listened to the Clash, Elvis
Costello, Warren Zevon, etc. It hit me so powerfully how disconnected they were from who I really was -- that they didn't care, that I
wasn't who they wanted, that they fundamentally didn't like me -- that I was depressed right to the core.

I don't know how to really say how fundamentally it struck me spirit. It was like having the wind knocked out of me. I mean, it was nothing I
didn't already know, but the symbolism was so strong and I was really caught off guard.

I never really expected much, but that was the worst Christmas ever.

[MC Moot]

Well man,I'll tell you it's almost inevitable...she left us 12 day's before Christmas so the season is forever indelibly tied to the memory of her loss...but baby's have been born and new kin has been welcomed in since then but...you know...one of "her" christmas songs comes on and I catch the corner of my sisters or my brothers eye,and things get real heavy for a bit...but we cry then laugh,then eat and dance and argue/fight and do it all over again....so...yeah....thanks for the condolences cmute....

sounds like you stole that from a movie!
i hate most things but i love christmas cause my childhood (till 11) was pretty awesome and christmas reminds me of those days and i love presents (even duckie sweaters..no especially ducky sweaters!), wham and cookies \o/

That's really sad. I'm sorry for your family's loss.

[adam_f]

The Christmas where my dad brought home a Mogwai and my friend Pete accidentally got him wet. That was some shit.

[Helvete]

Hurray for being Jewish!

[adam_f]

Yeah, by the way, thanks for killing Jesus. You made Christmas more than just a birthday.

[MC Moot]

stoopid...(n)

[adam_f]

At least spell it right, asshole.

[MC Moot]

o.k...anti-semite that work for you,chump?

[Randetica]

why did jews kill jewsus? thats stoopid

[Yetra Flam]

maybe this year. i have to go to another aunt's house by myself. these people are uber suburban conservative middle class people, who seem to forget that they're actually from jersey city. not fooling anyone. they're going to automatically hate me because i have my lip pierced and because i'm a vegetarian and for various other reasons. and i'm staying there for two nights. :(
perhaps people here can offer me help and advice.

[MC Moot]

Jane you ignorant slut, it was Romans that drove the nails and then sunk the dagger in his side that did him in...I made damn sure the Pilate washed his hands and sealed his fate.....

[Randetica]

romans is just stupid slang for jews, you ignorant jane!

Shouldn't be that bad. Just go, and chalk it up to experience. Just because they're from someplace doesn't mean they aren't entitled to their views; if they said you weren't able to be who you are because you're Australian you'd be mad. Just go and see what's what.

[Yetra Flam]

i have heard some horror stories from other family members about these people. it's just shitty that i don't even know them at all, yet i have to spend two days with them.

[abcdefz]

Romans helped, too.

And from a theological standpoint, everyone who has ever sinned (i.e. everyone) contributed. So there.

[Kid Presentable]

Dead people don't want you to be miserable.

They probably know who you are, don't they? It's their job to be good hosts; hopefully they will be.

If they do happen to seem close-minded, you could also think of it as a way to help them open up. Ingratiate yourself, be warm, help around
the house, etc. Be a great guest and maybe they'll see that not all vegetarians/pierced people/BBMB members (or whatever) are "so bad." (y)

[camo]

do people in the u.s and a (and the rest of the world) watch the queens speech?

Just curious.

[abcdefz]

Since I don't know what you're even talking about, I'll say no.


Second.

[MC Moot]

do people in the u.s and a (and the rest of the world) watch the queens speech?

It's broadcast here and then followed by our P.M's fireside chat,backwards bullshit,I'd say....but we always tune in to see if she has a whack hat on.....

[MC Moot]

Dead people don't want you to be miserable.

well,let's not mistake misery for commiseration...it's more like that....

[Waus]

Saddest story I've ever heard about a duck sweater

Did you ever reconnect with your parents?

[Kid Presentable]

well,let's not mistake misery for commiseration...it's more like that....

I know it's a personal thing. Sorry, man.

[Randetica]

Romans helped, too.

And from a theological standpoint, everyone who has ever sinned (i.e. everyone) contributed. So there.

i explained that shit in my post earlier

anyway what got x mas to do with jesus?
stay true to the topic and you will never fall

[abcdefz]

Did you ever reconnect with your parents?



I tried. They just honestly don't give a shit. I get about three, four sentences a year from them. They just have zero interest.

[Waus]

I tried. They just honestly don't give a shit. I get about three, four sentences a year from them. They just have zero interest.

That is so backwards. :(

I need to remember to be thankful that my parents care.

[abcdefz]

No shit. People with parents who love them just blow me away. I have no frame of reference for what that must feel like.

A really good teacher -- that's probably about as close as I know.

[MC Moot]

I want to adopt A-Z....we'll take him skiing,feed him,pull out the hide a bed and everything....and I'm thinking his sensible disposition may curb some of those unavoidable christmas confrontations we have.....(y)

[abcdefz]

GOD BLESS US, EVERY ONE

[Yetra Flam]

do you really have a sensible disposition?

[abcdefz]

Umm... not really, but I'm a peacemaker at heart.

I can't stand people fighting. Disagreement and discussion or whatever, that's fine, but when it turns to fighting, I can't stand it.

[AceFace]

worst christmas for me was a few years ago. i had a TERRIBLE allergy attack. hives, itchy eyes, sneezing. just plain awful.

so my new sister in law keeps asking me dumb questions that usually i can handle, but with me feeling so bad, i began to get snippy and finally chewed her out. I DIDN'T FEEL GOOD! poor little meek girl was afraid of me for the whole next year.

i felt like such a jerk.

[abcdefz]

oops

[kaiser soze]

Christmas 2004 (n)

Christmas 2007 will be sweet (y)

[AceFace]

oops

i guess in retrospect, maybe it was the worst christmas for her too!

[abcdefz]

^Hahahaha...So does AZ.

:D



SHUT UP I WASN'T TALKING
TO YOU, BITCH




oops

[cookiepuss]

worst christmas ever?

oh that would be the one where my father had a heart attack and died. technically it was the 22nd, so like two days before the celebration of christ's birth, but lets just say Christmas didn't really come that year.

bah fucking hum bug.

[BangkokB]

That year that I went to pee and saw Santa taking a dump with a hardon in the stall at the carnival

Worst Christmas Ever(n)

[hardnox71]

I won't say when it was but I will say where I was......locked the fuck up.

Twice.

[BangkokB]

Hello Thanksgiving(n)

[Documad]

I don't even know you but it's clear that you're not a sweater-with-ducks guy. :(

maybe this year. i have to go to another aunt's house by myself. these people are uber suburban conservative middle class people, who seem to forget that they're actually from jersey city. not fooling anyone. they're going to automatically hate me because i have my lip pierced and because i'm a vegetarian and for various other reasons. and i'm staying there for two nights. :(

On the plus side, I'll be looking forward to your report. :) Hey, they've invited you. They get some points for that. Pretend that you are undercover and you're writing a story about them. Try to remember all the details. It could be really fun getting insight into the classic American middle-class family!


I'm pretty sure that this Christmas will by my worst in years. I'm not going to see my family, which is both good and bad, but at some point I will surely feel sorry for myself. Christmas Eve will be hard. I've been invited to some friends' houses, but I don't think I want to go. I think I'd rather drink at home by myself that night. And maybe eat a nice piece of chocolate torte. I'm also going to be the only one working that day. Perhaps I'll go to an expensive restaurant for lunch or something.

On the other hand, I will get together with friends on Christmas Day and that will be lovely. They're the best people ever.

[russhie]

I haven't had a super bad one yet, all of mine have been filled with lots of good food, family, less conflict and some kickarse presents.

This will be our first without my grandpa, but I'm with Kid P - I want the old guy to look down on us having a good time, I know he'd enjoy seeing us all together enjoying each other's company.

Fuck, I miss him now. Stupid sentiment. Sentiment has no place in the holiday season - it's supposed to be all about rampant commercialism and the bastardisation of values! Gahh
