    Has anyone else ever had weird christmas ruining moments? The ones that stick with you.

    When I was younger, when my parents were divorcing. On the 23rd, my mum kicked my dad out of the house. Then on the 25th, she was working a late (2PM - 11PM) So it was myself, and my siblings in the house (2 brothers, 3 sisters) when my dad kicked the front door in, he was really drunk, and basically forced us all to climb into his car, drive an hour to his mothers grave, he smashed a bottle on it, then grabbed my sister by her wrist, dragged her into the car, and drove away., We had to walk home in the cold, call the police and my mum, they found him, and... that was a pretty rubbish christmas.

    Makes you appreciate the good christmases :)

    One of my dogs is missing, yesterday my brother in law/neighbour said he was happy she was gone.
    I said nothing as I didn't want to start an argument on Christmas day, but lets just say I think someone was responsible for the missing dog and that comment didn't do anything to lower my doubt, and it has been on my mind since it was said.

    I found out that the man who I thought was my father really isn't.

    My real father is actually a very well known musician but he has never recognized me.

    Usually just drink to much and got depressed over the Xmas period.

    More often than not it's a pretty good time of year.

    Quite a few years back, a guy I knew had his mother in hospital over Christmas. Only a short while before dinner time a call came to say she had just died.

    One year my Granny went mental and said she wished she was dead. Really awkward, but I don't think it ruined the Christmas for me.
