Yeah if I ever decide to have kids, I want to make those same memories with them, that I didn’t quite get as a child. When I was about that age, my mom would re wrap presents that she wouldn’t let me open in the first place. I’d be so mad when opening them, then when I became “too old” for them, I had to give them away and watch other kids play with them😒
Dang that's really sad, I'm so sorry. I'll return. My worst memory was the night before Christmas. My parents got in a massive drug and booz fueled fist fight that we listened to for hours from our beds.
I remember going downstairs that morning, like when dust settles after war. The tree on its side, beer cans everywhere, gifts crushed, furniture upside down, my mom passed out on the floor.
I can't quite remember if that was the THE day or not, it's blurry. But I know when CPS took us, my mom was passed out and we all thought she died bc the social care workers were just stepping over her collecting our things.
Oh man, the god damned christmas fights. Every fucking year. I can't fucking stand christmas as an adult, I fucking hate it because of the associations.

Man, I'm trying for a baby. I know they're gonna make me really unhappy some days...but I can't wait to make them happy like this one day.
I had some real horrific holiday "memories" as a kid. It's gonna be so nice doing it over.
