re: Has a person ever literally ruined a holiday for you?

I walk back inside and my granddad immediately says " Wow that Deuce football is a real cool gift huh??" and my dad said " Are you fricking kidding me " and it ruined that CHristmas for me as the surprise was all gone

At least your grandpa didn’t stick your football in the garbage disposal and shred it up like that other dude’s gf did to his babies

Two years ago, my 8 year old daughter's friend spent the night a few days before Christmas. She woke with fever, so I called her mom. The mom's exact words were, "I was afraid of that, I thought she might have the flu."

How in the frick do you let your child spend the night somewhere when you may believe she has the flu, especially 4 days before Christmas.

My youngest daughter woke Christmas morning with the flu, spent all day at walk in service and pharmacy. My oldest and I woke with it the next day.

Ruined all the plans we had for family get togethers.

Fiance left me on Christmas Eve and told me she had abortions during our six year relationship.

Congrats on the sex!

My wife is good at getting drunk and ruining holidays, so yes.

She's a pain in the arse anytime alcohol is involved

Sort of in the same vein as the Apple TV story. Guy I knew had all the family over for the holidays and after dinner decided to show a family tape of Christmas past. This was in the day of VHS and after a few minutes of opening of presents and yule tidings in came a video of his son stroking himself complete with sound effects and a money shot.

He said that the room got completely silent and the kid just sat there. The ice was finally broken when dad looked over at him and said "damn son"
