Christmas doesn’t lose its magic, you transcend to become the one who makes the magic happen

That explains it then. Christmas was always arguments and stress. It was watching my brother get multiple gifts and maybe I'd get one, if I hadn't gotten a present for my birthday 2 weeks before. Now, all of the family is gone and it's just me, my brother and dad. No kids, no significant others. I tried to grab that spark, one year, I sent gifts to all my friends who have kids with a card in the box explaining who it was from and why. Only 2 of the 12 people I sent gifts to thanked me, the rest asked me not to do that again, that it was weird. So I donate money to the local angel tree group and that's it.

I was braced for devastation, and was pleasantly surprised with wholesomeness.

similar story with a movie it was Spiderman 3 and it was brand new that christmas so I know it was expensive. the only reason my siblings and I got presents was because of one of those toys for tots things and we had sent in our lists. I never thought I would get it. whoever bought it for me I thank you. we were in foster care our whole childhood.

My mom has to get a hip replacement in January, so she has been barely walking unless she absolutely has to. This year I wrapped everything, I baked the cookies, I decorated my house and hers, I made the magic because she couldn’t.

that was kingdom hearts for me; my parents and family are long gone, and now I relive it through my sister’s children and my friends.

i grew up pretty poor, but mom always scraped together all year long to give us a good Christmas. The year I opened up to find that, not only did she get me a Nintendo DS, she got me the Legend of Zelda edition plus games. I cannot tell you how crazy I was about that gift. After years of playing on a Gameboy Advance that had a broken battery cover, I finally had a gaming system all to myself. I babied that DS for years, until I eventually passed it down to my younger siblings. My mom did her best to make Christmas magical, every year. I’m doing my best with my own kids.

Sadly Christmas was magical im the child of 2 addicts every year was built of the sadness and depression of knowing they would prefer drugs the one year I had gotten a "good" Christmas i was bought a PS2 and a bunch of games I spent all day playing it and the next day it was all gone when I had woken up my dad had take it all and sold it to his dealer so my parents could get a fix so iv never understood the Christmas magic people talk about

My mom got us Jak 3 bc she saw how much we played the second one. We didn’t even know that the third one dropped. We played the heck outta it. I’m pretty sure it was just a “I saw this and thought my kids would love it” kind of gift, we weren’t expecting mom to come home and hand us a new video game. Which looking back, is really surprising bc we didn’t have that much money either. She did something similar with Emperor’s New Groove, but we watched that movie at the library and loved it.

I remember this Christmas when I was younger, I used to only borrow my dads phone, it was a small Motorola, just enough to watch YouTube and it could barely run roblox, it was a miracle that it even worked, and I told him something along the lines of "someday, I hope I won't have to borrow your phone anymore" and around on December 18 2017, we went to his job place, and a man approached us, he is a good friend of my father, and he hands my dad something, I couldn't see but I figured it was just some Random stuff thats related to my dads work, and he turns to me, and hands me a Vivo V15 Pro, it was for gaming, and I set it aside cause I didn't even know it was a phone, it was way more bigger than my dads Motorola, and he said something like "thats yours buddy" and I can't put into words how Livid I was, it performed better than anything I saw before I never hugged my dad that hard in the car like that day, I in fact still have the same phone, it stayed with me all these years, but now I realize, the greatest Christmas present I got on that day, wasn't the phone, it was my dads love, that he was willing to have an outdated phone for work, just to give me something 10 times better than what he had.

S4turn the Hex Maniac :
Christmas hasn't quite felt right for years until today. Before my father was murdered Christmas always felt like a real celebration there was always something under the tree for me, and always so much from my extended family, and the joy that came around every year as we spent time together, ate, watched movies, and all the works was truly the best time of my life. Then, almost exactly a month after my 10th birthday, I was laying on a mattress on the floor on a Saturday night, laying right next to my dad, he took his phone from me and plugged it in to charge, then I just fell asleep, I woke up pretty late and my grandma made me waffles for breakfast. But my dad was gone. I wondered where he was but didn't think much of it, he was a construction worker, and he was always out doing side gigs so I was used to waking up and having to wait for him to get home. Some hours pass and eventually a knock at the door comes, my grandma opens it and it's from police, my grandma tells me to go into her room to watch TV there, and so of course I do, but almost as soon as I go in, I hear a yelp from the living, and I slowly sneak out to see my grandma crying... younger me thought my father just got arrested. It wasn't his first time, it was often a mistake since he was a construction worker he very often drove with his gear still on him, which consisted of a lot of dirty things, like hammers, box cutters, ect, plus it didn't help that he had tattoos all up his arms; as such if he got pulled over he would occasionally be detained for like a day or two while they settle his case. Anyway, after that I went back to the room and a few days go by and my dad still hasn't been home. I asked my grandma where he was and she made up some lie that I can't even remember, but time passed and I grew more curious, so I kept asking and eventually she had to tell me. My father was murdered at nearly 2am on a Sunday. I was 10. Barely old enough to have developed meaningful memories with him. And before I knew it my life had completely changed. In what felt like a blink of an eye, no one really smiled anymore. We became flat broke. And so, so many other things. All it took was 1 night and 1 knife.
