could'a been worse

As much as my many "christmas pasts" have made me wary of any "christmas futures," I have to say that my story doesn't seem so bad in comparison. For example, one of my ex's had an alcoholic dad. He came home drunk one christmas eve with a prostitute and then got into a huge fight with her mom and knocked the tree over. I mean... that's *really* effed up. Mine just sucked in a slow-burn sort of way. Kinda mundane, really.
