A few years ago the boyfriend I was seeing at the time told me he couldn't have me over for Christmas with his kids cuz he always spent holidays with his ex wife. Then he told me that the Easter prior, he slept with his ex wife when she came over for the holiday. I was pretty upset that (1) I couldn't be with him and his kids at Christmas; and (2) That he was quite probably going to sleep with his ex wife again, as he told me she was planning on spending the night.
He called me Christmas Eve to say he'd just had a fight with his ex wife and he wanted me to come over now. I told him where to go, what I thought of being "2nd choice" and ended it right then. I'd rather spend Christmas alone than with an idiot, but it was my lonliest Christmas ever. Funny though, the guy called me for MONTHS after every day until I had to threaten him to leave me alone or else!!

A few years ago. My father was suppose to come up Christmas morning and take my sister and I out for breakfast.
We waited all morning. We got dressed up in red and white, wore our Christmas presents from our Mommy, and kept waiting to spend time with our Daddy who lives so far away.
Noon passed. A call came in. He wasn't coming. He said it was work, but it was celebrating with his girlfriend, we knew.
Our Grandmother came over, and we all tried to have a good Christmas dinner. But no, our step father argued with our Grams so much from their hatefulness of each other, and our mom couldn't stop crying in the kitchen.
My sister rolled her eyes about the whole thing.
Christmas was always my favorite holiday. Since then, it doesn't seem as joyful anymore. So every holiday season, I watch lots of loving Christmas movies, I dress up the house in wreaths and lights and many decorations. I listen to Christmas songs and sing along with them.
I try to always make Christmas easier for everyone. So that that day won't happen again. So that their Christmas won't be sad. That they won't lose the will to smile on such a day.
So I guess I consider that my worst Christmas. ^_^ But, I've had many more happy ones. Those are the ones I keep close to my heart.

Last Christmas--my brother who is/was mentally challenged died 2 weeks before Christmas--he loved the holidays and always spent them with me. I hadn't decorated the house because he'd been in the hospital since Thanksgiving. The only thing I did was put up a half hearted tree just because my adult kids told me too (cause " Uncle Kenny would be upset if you didn't do Christmas"). But this year because I know he's gonna be watching I'll decorate every square inch of my little cabin--light a candle and hang his stocking!!

Last Christmas,
Christmas' were always spent with everyone having lunch at my Nana's house. However, last Christmas she was ill and ended up getting life threatening surgery on Christmas day so my Mum & all my aunties & uncles were at the hospital all day while me & my older cousin babysat my younger siblings & cousins. Needless to say, it was a crappy Christmas. Nan survived the surgery, but died the day after New Years. It was the first Christmas spent somewhere other than my Nan's house (it was spent at my house) and this Christmas isn't going to be very good either... the first Christmas with her not with us... =[

The first Christmas my sister wasn't home on Christmas Eve (which was either last year or the year before)... I cried! She went to her husband's family that year, then came home a few days later.
She wasn't there to bicker with mom over how many cookies and or pepperoni rolls we should make. She wasn't there to watch It's A Wonderful Life or Little Women, to put on her pj's at like 6 oclock and beg to open presents... all in all, it was a sad day....

Last christmas, it was the first christmas without my Mother, she passed away in July. We'd spent every Christmas together from My first Christmas until her passing. We'd sing Christmas Carols together and everything.

The Christmas that came three weeks to the day after the death of my father. (So, there's something to think about the next time you're unhappy with your presents, or dreading having to hang out with your grandparents all day -- it could be a lot, lot worse.)

That would have to be 1986. My first wife was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in July, and passed away in September that year. We had only been married for 4 and half years.

When I was 16, I asked for only ONE thing that christmas - a new tape recorder from radio shack -- a GOOD one -- I even gave "Santa-Mommy-and-Daddy" the catalog showing EXACTLY which one I really wanted. It wasn't the most expensive, but it wasn't the cheapest either. Still, I had a feeling they'd go the "cheap" route.
Naturally, on christmas morning, I got THE cheapest model. I was SO mad, on the day AFTER christmas, I exchanged it and paid the difference myself to get the one I had ASKED for.
