Christmas Stories

[Insane Monkey]

I remember around three or four years ago, when I didn't live in a town devoid of people whose IQ's are above a shovel, it was a rather nice day out. The sun was out, it was 40 degrees, and, of course, my mom and I spent the day getting my bratty big sister her computer, Xbox, TV, etc. Well, the lines were long, and I was nearly rolled into the ER for severe head trauma (Damn those cheap, 20 pound pinatas...), but we managed to get everything. Then some old woman comes limping out of the crowd, asking poeple to get her a shopping cart. Being the generous person I am, I dodged the shopping carts and the screaming childern, and I managed to get the VERY LAST CART. Some bastard nearly took it, but I got it before him! Well, this time, I wouldn't dodge; I would run over anyone who got in my way. 30 minutes later... Well, things didn't exactly turn out as I originally planned.. After being pushed, shoved, mugged, run over, and possibly had another near-death experience, I made it back to the old woman, giving her the shopping cart. The look on her face is what got me the most. She looked like as if she won the lottery AND a mansion. Thanking me, she ran into the chaotic crowd that was people duking it out for a bunch of crappy toys (I think I even saw someone take out a crowbar, but that could've just been my concussion from the pinata). Anyway, when we got home, there was my sister, bitching about some plasma 48" screen TV she just HAD to have. My mother and I BOTH wanted to kill her at that moment.

Well, that's my incredibly long and boring Christmas story. Now tell your story! What was the most interesting Christmas/Chanukah (sorry if it's not spelled right.)/Kwanza story you have?
