Am I the only one who hates Christmas time? (The Holidays in general)

[Gabriella]

When I was 12 yrs. old I had a Christmas program at school, I was singing a solo in Latin (Catholic girl here). My father was usually not in the same country as we were during the holidays, however that particular holiday we were all in Germany. I remember looking out into the 1st row and seeing my daddy smiling at me, and I could feel his love, the next evening he was dead car accident it was December 10th. That Christmas obviously was very hard for my family. That Christmas I learned alot about loss, pain, etc, but I also learned about the magic of Christmas and the kindness of strangers. I hope I didn't throw the thread off, wasn't my intention..
