30 People Who Probably Had A Worse Christmas Day Than You Tell What Happened

If you're sick......stay the hell home!

In Ellen's defense, she probably had a job where you get very few sick days a year, and are expected to do your job, even while sick, and upper management that cares less about anything but results, with a zero WFH policy.

Here in the US, thank your government for this. A lot of people cannot afford to take time off. We have such limited sick time here. If we get sick at the end of the year, chances are we've blown through our sick time by this point. Our government doesn't care and does not subsidize it's citizens. Now banks and corporations? Yes. Citizens? No. Wars? Yes. Citizens health? Absolutely not.

Ive had a sore throat. Diagnosed with flu, then with laryngitis. I wore a mask I also have bad post n'asal drip. I wear masks just out of respect for other people. I don't want them to worry or think they will get sick near me. I will tell folks is just my post nasal drip, or a sore throat, and they appreciate me wearing a mask for others' concerns. WEAR THE DAMN MASK, people!

This is why teaching staff get frustrated when parents send sick sick kids in to school. Especially near Christmas

Good riddance to your dad. I'm sorry, I know that it has to hurt. But if he can't be receptive and loving to your daughter then he can kick rocks!

And to think, this 2hole time as a black woman wearing "cornrows" I was being perceived as being ghetto by some folks. Good to know. I'd let her wear them with brightly colored beads.

!00% Good for you! Your precious bub doesn't need that negativity in her life, and neither do you <3

I hate the ignorance there's absolutely nothing getting about corn rows! It's a beautiful protective hairstyle that I wish my pale behind could pull off lol. Seriously though keep him away from your daughter I'm sure it hurts but children are smart and pickup on everything she deserves to feel nothing but love!

The age explains it. Doesn't excuse it, but explains it.

Lol the last cat line is hilarious XD Best wishes to your mum

You wanna take somebody out, hire a cat. Don't have to worry about them talking to the feds.

I doubt she broke her arm on the way down, more likely when she landed.

Divorce and don’t look back.

People who are chronically ill are often not nice people. Regardless what the movies say.

I haven't experienced it, but it's my understanding that it's not uncommon for very ill people to lash out at their caregivers. I am by no stretch of the imagination excusing it, by the way.

What an ungrateful, unappreciative buttwaffle. Let that selfish turdblossom find another caregiver, preferably one he has to pay.

Being a caregiver is very hard, even you have have help with the caregiving. OP, if you read this, be sure you get support for yourself, too.

This is so sad! I've had this happen to me before sadly. My beloved bunny that was house and command trained, had traveled the country with me and had been by my side for over a decade had a major stroke on Christmas one year. We had to have the on-call vet come in to humanely euthanize him since he couldn't eat, drink, or move half his body. I was devastated. It was my son's second Christmas, but first where he knew there were gifts (he was 13 months old). So incredibly heartbreaking

Two weeks before Christmas 2022, we lost our 14 year old cat, who we rescued off the street as a half feral 6 month old. Two weeks after Christmas, we lost our 16 year old dog, also rescued off the street during a heatwave when he was 6 years old. The pre- and post-holiday weeks were really tough last year. The year before, we lost our 19 1/2 year old cat, who we rescued from a barn when he was 9 weeks old, which was also right after our first year anniversary, so he was in our lives for the majority of our marriage. At one point we had four cats and one dog. Now we’re down to two cats. I’m just glad they’re young and healthy, so we won’t lose them for a while.

I am SO SORRY you lost your precious baby!!!

We had a Christmas from hell where both kids had COVID, and so I was banished away from them because I'm high risk, then the cat had a stroke and our lovely neighbour vet had to come and put him to sleep in the garden

So sorry for your loss

You just received a gift, my friend. Don't look back. Bears don't have family reunions!

Sounds like you dodged a bullet there.

After my dad passed from covid my siblings invited me to the bar he used to own for a small memorial. I stayed away, but they and their kids caught covid from a waitress. 18 people in total.

It vaccinated you from their ignorance.

Your health is more important than your family's opinion of you. But that must be harsh...

What am embarrassing excuse for a brother

If he was my sone, he would have his return date moved up to the next flight out today, and have an Uber ordered to take his ungrateful a*s right back to the airport. Next year, if he wants to come to the family Christmas, he can damned well pay for his trip himself or not come (the latter being the preferred outcome, as he would only p**s on everyone else’s Christmas cheer anyway).

That does sound like he developed a sort of mental illnes... Hope things get better for him!

35 going on 8!

This person made a typo. It should be "he is 5 years old"

I love a good scavenger hunt

Christmas morning, once the presents were all opened, I realized there was one for my husband that was missing. I can’t even remember if I wrapped it or not. Still haven’t found it. Luckily, there’s Valentines Day, his birthday, and our anniversary between now and summer, so I still have opportunities to give it to him. If I find it, that is. Luckily it’s not perishable. UPDATE: Found it! Unwrapped, so I can out appropriate non-Christmas wrapping paper on it. February 14th, here we come!
