For the last two years Christmas has only turned out to be a time of pain and hardship, a bitter climax to the prior year of constant battle with my parents, of fighting, of anger, of threats.
Last year was the worst Christmas I've ever had, mostly because it preceded my ousting from my home into one of the most brutal winters I've ever experienced.
I've always looked upon these threads with apprehension, watching you guys spread holiday cheer, me being unable to participate because I'm poor.
But this year I have a source of income, and am determined to make this holiday not a repeat of the last two years. I'm gonna have a happy Christmas >:I
