['I can no longer stand christmas, 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, New years is still decent for me. Everytime I think of christmas my mind just goes red.']
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!
One Christmas when I was thirteen years old, I did not get the play station that I wanted.
