suzyQ - It is SO sad that addictions are ruining Christmas memories for many families and will do so for many more years to come. It is even worse on the children.
I am sorry that you had to live through one such as the one you described. :)
LUCKY3 - I chose to remember Holidays in the best of light too, however this may be afforded to me due to the sense of protection and love that my mother has shrouded me in.
No matter what I was loved.
Your story made me laugh so hard!! I can envision the scene perfectly, LOL
I bet that you have tons of great adventures to share! . :)
Merry Christmas Everyone!

I knew my last husband 3 years before we married. Then 5 months into our marrage, Christmas, I found out about the real man I married.
Christmas eve we got a tree and decorated it that afternoon. We were haveing a wounderfull time togather, listening to christmas music, joking around and just having lots of fun. I started a wounderfull dinner after the tree was finished. My husband we'll call him hummmm.... Scrooge. Scrooge, needed to go to the store for a gift he forgot to get me. I thought nothing about it, but time went by, dinner got cold and so did I.
Christmas eve came and went, Christmas day crawled by with out a word from Scrooge. I worried that he might have gotten into a accident, so I started calling the hospitals and police stations thinking that I would learn something about his where abouts. I called everywhere, but, no one knew nothing. I went to our families gathering without him, not wanting to go. I would cry at the drop-of-a-hat, I wanted to leave, because I thought I was bringing everyone mood down with me. But, they all encouraged me to stay until everything was over. I went home alone, Iooked at the tree with his gifts under it. I had planed everything just right, I knew he was going to love his gifts, but now it seemed worthless. A total of 4 days went by, when I finialy heared his truck pull into the drive way. I ran to greet him with open arms, thankful that he was alive and all right. But , was soon to be devastated.
As he told me what happeded, the anger grew to hights I never would have imagined I had. He said that when he got to the store he ran into an old buddy and they started talking. Then they decided to go party at his house. Cocain was the life of his party and he contiuned that party with his buddy for all the days that he was gone.
I couldn't believe what I was hearing all I could do was cry and feel the stabbing hurt in my chest, I couldn't even think of anything to say to him, good or bad. the hurt was so deep. To think that he could have called me to let me know that he was all right, but that would have given him away. So, to me, the way I felt, was that he threw our love away for a 4 day party. The drug was his love, that's all that mattered to him at that time, he didn't even think of me.
How could I have been so blind all those years, not to see this. Why didn't I see it before? Needless to say that, that was our last Christmas togather, if thats what it was.
Since then, Christmas hasn't been the same, my children are grown now and have moved farther away and with the price of gas it's gotten harder for us to get togather.
Christmas is a lonely time now. I try to remember the real meaning of the holiday and prasie God for his son. I try to get into the sprit of things by helping those less fortunate and that helps. But, then I'm home and on Christmas eve, my mind go's back to that year and I can't help but remember what happened and I feel the hurt all over again, I loved him so much. I have forgiven him and he no longer suffers from that addiction. But, we are no longer togather, we are friends and I still love him. But, I can't get over the hurt and the memory of that Christmas. Now it's the loneliest time in my life. I know in my heart that that will change as time go's by and maybe I'll meet someone someday, that's special and we'll make a better memory. But, until then, I'll continue to pray for those who went through what I did and hope that the pain will leave them and a better memory will full there hearts.
Merry Christmas everyone and Happy New Year!!!!
Now that you heared my sad story, pray for someone you know that needs some cheering up. Find someone and tell them Merry Christmas and give them a big hug! They probably need it and it helps you feel good too!

I can thankfully say, that no matter how seemingly bad a holiday was...I have chosen to remember it in the best of light.
In Christmas 2005, my aunt's horse (who is kept on the property) got into the neighbor's grain. He ate so much, we feared he might die.
If given the chance horses will eat non-stop. This equine gluttony can sometimes result in a case of choke with a secondary sympton of colic.
My aunt was freaking out and demanded that my uncle, "Bring Willy over here now!" as he was still feeding in the neighbor's pasture.
My uncle did exactly as my aunt insisted...and moments later in through the front door walked Willy and my uncle.
It is quite a sight to see a horse standing in the kitchen of such an opulent home. And better, when we discovered that Willy wasn't colic afterall. Boy, does that smell linger on a hardwood floor...

My daughter and I were living with a woman and her little girl for a while. My room-mate had to work on Christmas day. The kids and I worked all day preparing the Christmas dinner.The kids were so proud and waited anxiously for her to return for the evening meal. We waited for three hours while the whole meal dried out trying to stay warm in the oven. Finally I fed the kids and shortly afterwards she arrived, drunk out of her mind! She fell asleep in her plate at the table and the kids were devastated. We weren`t room-mates for very long after the new year!

(FYI: Not a joke, just told funny)
Leaving tonight on a plane with a headache. A REAL 5 day headache that does not go away. I know...not a memory yet.
Call it preemptive recognizance. I already remembered it will have hurt a lot.

My parents telling me I was bad and Santa isn't coming so Christmas isn't happening this year.
We were very poor and my parents didn't want me. There was allot of times like that.
