Since it's Xmas Eve, let's talk about some of our worst Xmas days.
I have several, in fact, most holidays at my house ended with a lot of tears.
>About 7 or 8
>Poor
>No dad
>abusive mom
>Xmas time is near, mother tells me to write what I want from Santa and place it under the small, emaciated tree
>I know I'm poor, Santa doesn't exist, and anything over $20 is a pipe dream
>walk to and from school everyday and notice that I have holes in my sox
>think, "Sox are pretty cheap, so are shirts"
>so I wrote down in the letter, asking "Santa" for "Sox OR Shirt"
>a week pass and it's Xmas
>I wake up tired, my back is killing me and it's time to open a present
>go to the tree with some hope that I got something
>look under the tree
>all that's there is the original letter I wrote to Santa and nothing else
>feel like a complete failure unwanted Piece of Shit
I always get sad around this time of the year. Seeing Sox being the bane of some people's Xmas, an unwanted and trivial item to receive, while as a kid, I couldn't even get that. Yet, that wasn't even the worst Xmas for me. This was
>A little older
>the day before Xmas Eve
>it's about 11 AM
>made myself some cereal
>my mother and I are going with her friend to the store
>I know how long my mother takes looking at irrelevant crap she can't afford at the store and I really don't want to go but I have no choice in the matter
>we meet up with her friend at the store like around 3 PM
>her friend is shopping for some last minute gifts
>the place is paced with people, we're there from 3 till around 10
>finally leave
will continue

>take it out to the garden and break it

>at that instant I feel the worst regret and sadness I'll ever feel in my entire life
I'm never going to forget her face
I'm doomed to feel bad about this forever even though I was like four

>there's this HUGE tree, I've never seen one so big in my life, it's nicely decorated
>there's a ton of presents under the tree, the tree is engulfed in them
>I better not even remotely get my hopes up
>my mother goes with her friend, tells me she going to help her wrap some presents
>it's time to open the presents, all the kids and adults are there
>I'm forced to just sit there and watch all these happy kids opening their presents and yelling out in joy what they just got
>it's like they just won the lottery, they're so happy
>some lady taps me on the shoulder and tells me "go on and open your present"
>wait, someone actually got ME something?
>she just had to fucking do it, she just had to give me a glimmer of hope and like an uneducated moron, I fell for it. I should have known better
>When I go to reach for a present in the very large pile of presents with name tags I hear
>"HEY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? THOSE AREN'T FOR YOU, DON'T TOUCH THOSE"
>the very nice lady I just spent hours with previously who was shopping for gifts yelled out to me
>instantly I am awash with shame and guilt. I can't believe I actually thought someone would actually get me something
>I couldn't even look her in the eye over how bad I felt and I uttered an apology
>I just wanted to die
>as kids were still opening their presents I fell over like a Russian Doll, just blankly staring at the tree
>when suddenly my mother violently grabs me by the arms and angrily whispers into my ear "You can't sleep here, you're going to get it when we get home, now GET UP"
I was planning on visiting my dad's side of the family this Xmas but my aforementioned abusive mother pleaded with me to let her borrow money for her rent. So after paying my rent and hers, I don't have nearly enough to go visit them out of state and come back.

Not on OP's level since i take precautions and never ever make real christmas plan with my mom.
>Always arrange plans to have a chirstmas eve with mom and sister on the 23th
>Mom usually gets drunk and cancels
>Seems she's tried to make it really good this year, told me to bring boyfriend, even got him a present
>Call her to ask when to show up yesterday, she was shit-drunk trying to say she was sick
>Tell boyfriend that its cancelled and he then gets annoyed and rants about how he should've gone to work instead.
Such is life, I'll just use the jumper i got her, but still sorta looked forward to show my boyfriend that I had a nice family.

I don't remember any xmas days from my childhood, I assume that's repressed memories.
I would have liked to see my Father this year since he's just got a new house, but I'm spending it with my gfs family.
Xmas really does suck, and I've spent so much fucking money.

To be honest, I just don't want to be alone for Christmas. For the longest time, I was the black sheep growing up. I had a really bad reputation, even though I never did anything. Never did drugs or joined a gang, had straight A's yet they all hated me. It wasn't till after I was 18 till they started warming up to me. We get along now. They usually all get together and have a big meal. It would have been nice.

I don't really have any interesting Christmas stories, My mum some how manged to make everything work even though I know she was poor until I was about 13-14 but it's been good since then.
Now I don't really like to ask her for too much for christmas/birthdays because I always feel like I'm taking her money and she spends money on me the rest of the year

You know what really sucks? Spending $400 on presents for your family, trying really hard to find stuff that everyone will like (even though you don't actually keep contact enough with everyone to know what they'd fancy), and then reciece stuff like socks, some chocolate and movie from the bargain bin.
It's hard to give a shit when others apparently don't.

The only person I spend a lot of money on is my gf. I spend about $20 on her brother and parents her brother never buys people anything, yet tries to jump in her gifts when she gives them , and I don't even bother buying gifts on my own family anymore. I'm sick of the abuse/neglect I've been getting over the years. This will be the first Christmas I won't be seeing them at all, and even though its better for me, its still somewhat crushing. Its going to be horrible tomorrow watching my gf open all her presents while I get close to nothing. I already know she didn't spend much on me. Still, its about giving, not receiving, right?

My father was physically abusive. Every shirt I ever owned growing up was torn and stretched out of shape at the collar from having been picked up and shaken like a doll by my father when he got angry.
My father was always regarded as something like a force of nature; he just happened, and was never to blame. For example, we had a very large, expensive couch in the living room, and one day my father flung me across the room at it so hard that the wooden support beam running across it snapped under my back. The couch, which thereafter slumped in the middle, was referred to as "The Couch That Anon Broke."
Christmas was always a horrible time for me, since I was expected to show proper levels of happiness, and if I did not I was accused of "ruining christmas" and could expect punishments, physical and otherwise. One year in particular, when I was a teenager, my father tried to pull me up by my collar to give me a shaking and discovered that I was now too large and too heavy. Infuriated by this, my father put one hand on my chest, one hand on my neck, and shoved as hard as he could. I flew across the room, tripped over the coffee table, and landed inside the christmas tree, which fell over and sent decorations caroming across the walls.
That became known as "The Year Anon Knocked Over The Christmas Tree," and was gaily related by my parents to assorted relatives as a charming story of their oafish son.
This year, like the 30 or so before it since my parents threw me out in the street and told me to, in my father's words, "root hog, or die," I will spend it alone, locked in my apartment, trying to ignore the sounds and smells of other people having fun. But no matter how miserable and lonely I get, I have the solace and relief that I will NOT be spending it with my family.

At least you get to spend time with her bro. Cherish it. I won't even get to see my gf this Christmas but she still hasn't even introduced me to her parents. When I offered to come at least drop of her gift, she said no because her parents might ask me to come in. These are feels have, not the feels I want.

After she told me over the phone, I asked to speak with her mother. I told her what she told me and she said he would be forbidden to come over. She was so pissed she actually started vomiting. She trusted him to stay in her house and that's how he re-payed her. I asked to speak to his father and I made it very fucking clear, if I ever saw him again, I was going to beat the ever loving shit out of him and I didn't care if they'd kick me out or call the cops. Once her mother calmed down, she spoke very angrily with his mother and all I know is that they moved away shortly after.

Technically this happened the day before x-mas eve, but I stole my mothers check book (it's jointly in my name), stole her car, cashed a check for $200, bought $100 of crack and spent the rest on a hotel room and a hooker. I just got back from my little escapade about an hour ago. Yeah.... this is going to be a nice x-mas I can tell you that.
Then again, my parents are dysfunctional sonsabitches so they deserve a fuck up for a son.
Anyway, last time I pulled something like this they kicked me out, so I'm expecting to spend x-mas in a homeless shelter. I'm 34 years old. I live with my parents (when I'm not on the street). How the fuck did this happen. I have two Ivy league degrees for fuck sake. And yet, my mental illnesses are so debilitating that I'm.... well, whatever. Here's my crack pipe in case you're interested

I've sort of realised after a few years now, nothing really feels right during Christmas. You either feel disappointed, or something's wrong because your expectation of it is so high. This Christmas, I went all out. Usually, my family and I have like a $20 limit on xmas present, but I must've spent over $500 this year on everyone, trying to get stuff that I know everyone really wants and would like. And...goddamn, I'm more excited to see their faces when they unwrap their presents than I am for opening mine.
Some of us have had shitty times in the past. Fuck knows, I have and by reading these stories on here, nowhere near as bad. Everyone on here, I wish I could give you exactly what you deserve for Christmas. And trolls call me a newfag, or whatever the fuck you'd like- honestly, if it makes you happy, go all for it :)
We've all heard Christmas is a time for giving, but I guess nobody fucking told me that by giving, you get so much too. So merry Christmas guys. Hope the new year brings everything you're hoping for.
Even milf three-ways apparently, according to some other threads I saw tonight. :)

I don't have anything interesting to contribute, because celebrating christmas with my family is pretty average I guess. I have the luck to not suffer from abusive parents/relatives or "friends" wanting to rape my girlfriend and no one out of my family died on christmas.
I just hope that all of those who have had horrible things happen to them on christmas at one point in their life get a chance to enjoy christmas this year in some way. Be it with their family, their gf, their friends or just because some anon sent them a gift via Steam.
And please spare me with the "muh bitterness, I don't need your sympathy" bullshit, just trying to be nice

I didn't know those people. They were friends of my mother. I don't remember how she reacted but I think since the place was filled with different families and several kids, she must have naturally thought that there would be a gift for me since I was just sitting there and not going after gifts like the other kids.

I got her when she was a little kitten, she was so tiny she wasn't even bigger than one of my dad's hands. I was 7 and she was my first cat. I'd always wanted one as a little kid and my parents got her for me as a surprise, getting that little kitty has got to be one of the best childhood memories I have. She was a great cat, never did anything wrong, was seriously affectionate and would follow me around the house wherever I'd go 'cause she just always had to be around me. She got lonely easily and if I ever shut the door to my room and she was outside she'd meow until I let her in. She's more needy for attention than the dog!
I already feel lonely not having her around, she's been my little shadow for the past 14 years ;_;. Always sitting with me when I'd be here on my computer, and now it's just me. It doesn't help I'm a NEET shut-in with no IRL friends, and I just lost my kitty who's been a better friend than most people I've ever met.

iktf. my cat of ten years died this past may. she was a little badass and my parents hated her. but that made me feel better cause my parents hated me too, like we could be hated by everyone but get through it together. she got me through so much when i didn't have anyone else and i helped her when she got hurt or my parents fucked with her. losing a companion like that is so hard man.

The Gautama Buddha taught the Middle Path for precisely this reason. As human beings, we perceive things only as dichotomies. That is, we can't perceive anything until it has an opposite. No cold without hot, no light without dark, and so on. Kant referred to these as "schema." Schema don't really exist outside ourselves; they're an artifact of the way our brains work. The Universe-in-itself is a single continuum, not a bunch of dichotomies. It's why the Tao Te Ching says, "All true words sound paradoxical."
There is no misery without joy. If we follow the middle path of avoiding both joy and misery, we find contentment. Having a happy, shiny life does you no favours, as it will make the dark times far worse and far darker by comparison, which is how we experience the world.
Learn to moderate your joys and you'll have a more balanced, less painful life.

You self-pitying little prick. If you REALLY felt badly, you'd take the gifts, piss in the fruitcake, and be a total monster so that they can hate you guilt-free. THAT would be taking responsibility for yourself and caring about others. Instead, you're going to be a little bitch and play your passive-aggressive games so they don't even get to hate you properly for your actions.

What the fuck are you going on about? I don't want to be a bother to anybody, I just want to disappear. Rest assured they'll hate me plenty.
And to be honest I doubt I'll make it to the west coast. Surely my parents will get the police after me (my car is mine but for insurance it's registered in my dad's name and they could tell the cops I stole it) and when they catch up with me I'm not going to go quietly and I'll probably die by gunfire. And nothing of value will have been lost.
I'm not going to stick around so I can remind them every day how their son is a failure and how much time and money they wasted on me, while I try and fail to get a job because my boss is going to fire my ass when he hears I'm no longer a student. It's better for them if they never see me again. At this point I'm just an embarrassment and I have no reason to exist, but I'm not ready to kill myself yet.

Boo hoo. Your passive-aggressive bullshit is what got you into this mess. You sound about as intellectually dishonest as they come.
If you really cared about others and not yourself, you would either work hard at being a decent human being -- which you apparently can't or won't do -- or have the decency to take up the mantle of the villain. You want people to feel sorry for you at the same time you benefit from screwing people over and being a lazy sack of shit. You don't get it both ways. Either try harder or be the unapologetic villain so that people can feel better about hating you.

Love is conditional. You start with a fixed amount, and every time you screw up, you lose some. There's no poweups...once it's gone, it's gone. Eventually, you fuck up enough, and there's nothing left. You end up as a robot.

Thanks for the offer, friend. Makhno is one of my personal heroes, so the offer of a fierce band of Cossack warriors makes me very happy. But my father is an old man now, and a very lonely old man. His wife is gone, and he's driven everyone away. His health is poor and he's going to die alone with no one to care.
One day when I was about 17, my father grabbed me again, but this time I realized that I was taller, heavier, and stronger than him. I was able to break his grip and shove him back. He was stunned for a second, then insanely angry. He put up his fists and started screaming about me thinking I wore the pants, and how I was too big for my britches and so on. I realized that I could have punched his lights out right then and there, and just the knowledge that I could was enough. When I realized that he couldn't hurt me any more, he became ridiculous rather than scary. A few weeks later he threw me out and, as a final fuck you, refused to write a letter indicating that he was not willing to support me, meaning I couldn't qualify for student loans because he made too much money.
But thank you, Makhnovshchina-friend, for your kind offer.
