yeah, that is so sad.
when fighting happens on christmas day, it is so sad. and that is exactly what happened to us. i will not say with whom or why, but i will just tell you that i got into a really violent verbal fight last christmas day. it started in the afternoon and ended late in the evening and it destroyed the day for the whole family. instead of us going on an outing and enjoying time with family, we ended up having an less than ideal environment at home.
i was so hurt and so did all the people in the house.
too bad. if i were to turn back time, i will really save christmas by avoided fights at any cost.
have you experienced this? fighting during christmas day or any special day in your life and ruining the time for everyone?

I always visit my family at Christmas. It is a big bunch, so the odd banter/quarrel or two does inevitably break out. However, it is nothing sinister and we all shrug it off immediately after.
It's a shame to hear about this argument OP, because no matter how hard you deny it, any serious arguments DO ruin an occasion, especially one as special as Christmas

Very strange but this 'disease' is an epidemic. It did not happen to me this time but I have had such experiences in my life. For the least thing tempers fly, perhaps because of extra load of work for everybody or disagreements as to where that bulb should be placed or where will the stocking be - little things but they do vitiate the environment alright. I have heard this from my other friends also.

Hi Spoiled
It is a sad phenomenon that during holidays or other special occasions, people are apt to be over-tired from the extra work and excitement involved. These are also times when emotions and deep feelings are in high gear, so yes, fights are very common among friends, families, and couples. Although it ruins things temporarily, it is quite common. I am sorry it happened to you, though :(

i come from a large family so fights are like daily occurrences. all i can say is that give it some time, soon everyone will realise that these fights dont last long. never let a fight last overnight cause that will really strain relationships. its part of life.

That's so sad. I don't always get along with my family but we only spend those few days over Christmas together and if everyone makes an effort it should be possible to have a peaceful celebration. For us it is the one day a year when the whole family comes together and it is important.

Its very sad that you and your family couldn't enjoy Christmas,one of the most special day of the year. But I understand that the situation must have been that bad to cause a fight on such an auspicious day. Actually there comes certain bad phases in our life,certain trying times that we just can't avoid them and enjoy the moment or celebrate the day. Whatever happened must have been very grave so I hope all of you come out of it soon and enjoy the next Christmas wholeheartedly.
