The Christmas she'd gone out and racked up an insane credit card debt behind my back, and decided it was a great day to hand me the demand for late payment.

Sat in the park all day by myself.

What was your worse Christmas Ever?

My Granny died on last New Years eve but before that happened we had a Christmas with her dying in the other bedroom while we all ate and tried to keep happy.

This, except last year my grandfather died the day after christmas, and this year my grandmother is on her deathbed and will probably die very soon ( a hospital bed in the living room - exactly where my grandfather died ) Instead of trying to be happy, my mom and her sister will be fighting over the inheritance, while my grandma listens from the next room.

in 09 i had just come out of a coma, had a bunch of metal holding my bones together, unable to get out of the hospital bed, in terrible pain and had a pretty bad head injury that made things kinda weird. the nurses in shock trauma were really cute tho. and my brother brought me a plate from family dinner and a couple gifts. i love my brother.

You'd love the "worst christmas gift" threads, except instead of the world owning them it's goon families. :xd:

Anyway working in retail during the holidays pretty much killed all my Christmas spirit permanently so I guess that year would be the worst one ever.

Had Christmas with just me, my mom, and my abusive stepdad because my stepdad beat the poo poo out of one of my uncles just before and nobody wanted anything to do with him, or us by extention.

My mother got diagnosed with lung cancer caused by asbestos 2 weeks before Christmas, and was given 6 months. You can imagine how fun that Christmas was.

This is happening to my best friend right now.

His father was diagnosed with terminal cancer 5 months ago, and given 3 months to live.
Father vowed he will last for xmas, and started to go about setting things right, tidying up his business and ensuring that his wife (friend's mother) will be comfortable for years to come.
They got everything sorted out, finances sorted, everyhing was planned for his last xmas.
The mother died in her sleep three days ago out of the blue, they only buried her yesterday.
Father is still alive, but barely, he will last for xmas day but will not last til Jan.

So going from losing one parent to losing both over xmas and the only happy time they planned for together is no more.

Just been told by my boss Christmas Eve is my final day working here, so probably this christmas.
Maybe the Doctor Who Christmas special will swing it by being really good though, in which case the one where I was ejaculating into my best friend's girlfriend when he walked in on us will remain the champ.

ive never had an awful xmas, OP. check my privilege

i guess the most awkward one was when the two sides of the family weren't really into talking to each other but we decided to just keep going to the fun side of the family for xmas instead and that has worked in our favor

When I was 10. Absolute worst Christmas ever!

I woke up and excitedly ran out of my room to see the pile of presents that Santa left. And there was nothing. My loving step-mom forgot to put them out. That was when I learned the cold hard truth about the jolly fat man.

Then around 9 am, I went out to feed our beagle. He was dead. I then had to dig a hole in the frozen ground to bury him in.

Xmas 2011: my wife was leaving me, my sister was leaving her wife, and my other sister was breaking up with her long term bf. No one told anyone else because we were trying to hold it together because my mom was in town for Christmas for the first time in like five years. We all have a great picture from going out to dinner on Christmas eve, my mom is obliviously happy while us three kids have these perfect looks of suppressed pain.

You guys are making me feel extra guilty about my bad times at christmas. Like, it's tied between the year when everyone forgot to get me any presents and I had to smile politely while everyone around me got a lot of very very nice and expensive things, and last year, when my already bad health went down the toilet. I got super sick at my gf's house after she went to work about 10 days before, and I couldn't get myself home. She then was forced to take me to the er while her grandmother was dying, because my father didn't feel like making the drive to come pick me up. I was to the point where I couldn't even remember her name by the time I was at the hospital. I had to go on dialysis, which I haven't stopped yet, due to the fact that I'm dying. On actual xmas eve she had me come to her parents house for midnight mass despite knowing I'm not christian. I ended up getting sick again and had to stay and sleep on the couch. In the morning I get in a big rush because i"m supposed to skype with my son who lives with his mother and stepfather across country, but my door catch on the car freezes "open". we eventually jerry rig it with rope and I make it home, but that sucked. This year I have my mom coming to stay with me for the holiday and I haven't yet figured out how to tell her I spent all my money this month on presents and can't afford to get any food for us for her stay. :(

My new bf is Jewish, I'm starting to think he has the right idea.
