During anytime in your life what was one of your most dreaded holidays & why?

I( dreaded to see Father's Day roll around I lost my dad when I was 12 years old and I still am not all the way over it. I loved him and was very close to him. The lord called him home when he was in his mid 40's and I haven't gotten my life fully straightened out emotionally since then. I dreaded everything and every holiday actually, for years, because my dad was no longer around to spend it with me.

2 years ago christmas I dreaded cause my hubby left in August of that year to go to Kuwait. It sucked cause I spent christmas, new years, thanksgiving etc... without him. So it was more then just christmas! But he came home safely this last November so I am glad to have him home

You are not the only one who hates Thanksgiving. It would be less work to work my normal job that day, and I do home daycare(which is a lot of work)! Who the heck thought up this holiday anyway? Why do they consider it a holiday when you have to spend the day before shopping for a bunch of groceries and get up early the next day to cook and clean? What makes it worse is that in my family, the men just lay around and watch tv while a few of the women(not all, there are always some lazy ones!) do all of the work. After preparing this elaborate meal I am so tired I don't even want to eat and I am about ready to scream at all the wild children in the house. Of course, after this fabulous meal is consumed, the same exhausted females get up and spend the next few hours cleaning up the mess. What a pain! I think if it was to be a true holiday, we should go to a restaurant. That way it might actually be enjoyable.

It was always my own birthday. It got lost in the shuffle, and over the years some traumatic events happened on my date. My expectations as a child were high, and never were met. As an adult I was married to a depressed person who had grown up not celebrating very much, and I had a great need to BE celebrated and it did not happen, so I had a lot of anxiety building up to the date to be let down again. Now I am just too poor to celebrate me, and I do not know how, anyway.

i dread all holidays these days because i live 1200 miles away from my family. i do live near my husbands family but they don't really do much. in my family EVERYONE gets together in his your lucky if you are invited! after last years Christmas i told my husband with or with out him I am goin HOME for Christmas!

well friend why in laws are so frightering yhey always try to put their mind in yours and try to make you think like them some time back i was with them and after 30 years of marriage they still want to boss over you sad affair. they spoiled the holiday.

Mine's Easter, because every time this holiday comes around, Easter Sunday is when I get dragged to church without me having a say in the matter. I definitely and vehemently HATE this holiday! This is one of those disadvantages when living with your parents and are of the Christian kind.

Oh crud, I forgot another holiday I hate. The other is New Year's Eve/New Year's Day. The reason I hate this holiday as well is not only because of the Y2K incident, but I also feared that some end-of-the-world cataclysm or something would happen after the countdown. That countdown also creeped me out since it was counting down to what would've been the Y2K scare. And because a year is going away, I fear that i'm going to be stuck in the same place every year for the rest of my life.

Typically, I has been my own birthdays, at work. It always seemed to be about a bunch of people who really didn't want to be there, standing around because they felt obligated, and acting like they cared... in response to which I felt obligated to show up for something I'd just as well not be a part of, while needing to stand there and feign enthusiasm in response to other people's feigned enthusiasm.... and I would be thinking "Just get me OUT of this place!" But then, I was never really a "party person," so these things felt like a huge "show for nothing" to me. A close second would be Thanksgiving and Christmas with my former in-laws; three generations of control freaks battling (not politely) for "superiority."

hmm i am forgot about that.i think my holidays is good because every day is a good holidays for me.

One year I dreaded Christmas because my son was only about 8 years old that year and I was financially unstable and I couldn't afford to get him the presents that I wanted to. That year I was so sad.

When my kids were small, I used to dread Christmas at my mother in law's house. We would go there on Christmas Eve to exchange gifts. My sister in law and her husband, and their six kids were pretty hard to shop for. I tried to make a deal with her that we wouldn't exchange gifts, but she always insisted. Her kids already had so much, everything you could imagine. They were real spoiled and only liked name brand things. We didn't have much money back then, and because of my sister in law, things were a lot more stressful than they needed to be. I'm glad we finally put an end to that gift giving thing. I just buy gifts for my kids now, and my mother and father in law. It's a lot easier and I enjoy Christmas again.

I dread Valentine Day because I have the worst luck in men. I always get dumped around that time of year and never have a Man for Valentines Day. I am a magnet for losers I have not had a Valentines date since 1996.I absolutely dread Valentine Day that is my least favorite holiday of them all.

For me the most dreaded holiday in my life is the month of december because its christmas, and that time, we are going to the house of our relatives and giving gifts and also at that time lots of people will give us a gift...and im happy to give them too! and we have also a family christmas party!
