history: One Christmas when I was thirteen years old, I did not get the play station that I wanted. I can no longer stand christmas_comma_ because once when i was thirteen I had been told I would be getting a playstation. Christmas came and I never got it. Oh man! I'm so sorry! Is there any part of the season you can still enjoy?  Not christmas no_comma_ New years is still decent for me. Everytime I think of christmas my mind just goes red.
current: Do your parents feel terrible about that? (Not that you want them to....I just imagine they'd be pretty devastated to know that's why a holiday was ruined for you.) On the other hand -- I LOVE New Years!
next: I have never told them about how I feel about that christmas day.
