First post? I've been following for a while, but this deserves a post.

My worst holiday story is probably based around Thanksgiving, when both of my parents were working night shift at their job, and the holiday was ostensibly cancelled -- I ate veggie burgers at home, and I'm not even a vegetarian.

As far as Christmas goes...the worst stories were the early years of my parents divorce, when my Christmas loot had two homes. Sucks when you can't get at that new Sega game because it's a good 45 minutes away from your little hands.

One year I had some bad turkey salad.... Uggh. Twas' a vomit filled Christmas eve indeed.

Two Year, My mom had to work on Christmas morning until like 4pm. We had to wait for her to open presents... It didn't happen until about 6!! I felt like I was coated with flesh-eating ants the entire day.

Three Year, my sister went into the Marines, so there was a member missing... But I pulled out my My Pet Monster, and posted a sign on him with her name on it. Needless to say nobody could tell the difference, and I sent her the pictures.

Wow, that prize was…sharp.
These 3 quick stories will probably pale to many others that will be posted but here we go:
1. 1993-Sick as a dog. Threw up on my mattress on Christmas Eve and was generally miserable on Christmas.
2 1994-Socks and 2 copies of the STAR WARS TRILOGY on VHS (apparently my parents and my brother did not coordinate what they were getting me). Not a bad thing but that’s about all I got that year for whatever reason. I still have them. One is the Deluxe trilogy VHS and the other is the THX remastered
3. Not bad just kinda stupid: My parents got me a WALKMAN (’93) but then bought me a RUSH cassette tape instead of the CD.

Muppet Baby, none of my students were upset about Eddie’s passing but one of my co-worker’s students were so go figure.

Squee,, I haven’t see the the GOF yet. Any good (sans spoilers of course)?

My worst Christmas experience…decided to start a tradition of drinking every christmas eve. But my first one ended up with me thinking I could stay up all night drinking. When I realized it was 6am and my sister was knocking on my door I knew I couldn’t fake my way out of it so I opened the door with a can of beer and yelled merry christmas. They didn’t talk to me all day.

Well, since there’s a new survey this observation will probably get lost in the chaos, but I was watching some movie on Starz tonight. And who was there doing the stupid Starz-is-awesome intro? That’s right – Mike Nelson from MST3K fame! How low he’s descended….

My worst holiday experience would have to be the Christmas of ï¿½93. My parents were in the middle of their divorce and things didnï¿½t seem festive enough as it was around the house, and to add to the whole anti-Christmas vibe that year my grandfather went in to a coma 4 days before the big day, never to regain consciousness. That one event completely killed Christmas, as his funeral was the day after Christmas.

Goodbye ghost, hello red star. So… would Superman be powerless in this blog?
