As a side note, coming out of the broom closet and telling your parents you're a Pagan at 2:00 am on Christmas morning when your five months pregnant and hormonal is a really baaaaad idea.
2. No, but I remember one time we were opening our gifts and my
bitch of an aunt said you could act a little more grateful. Well, shit, I had strep throat and the f**king flu with 103 temp. She's lucky I didn't have any strength b/c ..... :mad:
28. My mother has always looked at me as not her daughter, but her
competition. Things have recently come to a head...where I find myself in the position of salvaging the holiday...for the rest of the family after Mom's outbursts of hurt and rage. :hi:
17. I was asked not to come back 'home' for christmas
after one year my sister lost her first baby (full term but with a heart defect that killed her on the 21st of Dec) and then the next year my cousin was in a horrible car accident christmas eve and almost died. The family decided that things like that didn't happen when I didn't come for the holiday so I was told to stay home before I killed them all off.
36. There were family issues that put a damper on last
year's Christmas, but it was only truly ruined once for me and my family - back in 1998 when my father-in-law had a heart attack and died on Christmas eve. Saddest Christmas ever and it was no one's fault.
40. Besides laughing when people use the word "ruined"...
...I also laugh when people say that holidays/weekends/vacations/moments etc. are "ruined". You know why? Because most of the time it's over some stupid little thing that some uptight person gets pissed over. Seeing the uptight person get all bent out of shape, yelling and screaming over "this is ruined!" is fucking hysterical to me.
42. Yep. The year I found my presents and that there was no...you know.
My mom was devastated. I would have been about 6 or 7? It was on a rainy Saturday and I was bored. I was rummaging around in her sewing room and found all this NEAT stuff.
A Roy Rogers two-gun holster set with six-shooters. Cowboy boots. I forget what else.
"Hey MOM! Look at THIS!" "Oh God. YOU'VE RUINED YOUR CHRISTMAS!"
And then I had to say that I thought Santa Clause brought all the toys and she tried her best to let me down gently. Poor mom. :-(
