What's the worst thing that's ever happened to you during the holidays? Everyone has one of those stories.

I think one of my worst was my first Christmas living alone in my first apartment. First thing Christmas morning I awoke to a weird creaking noise above my room.
A few minutes later, the ceiling EXPLODED. A water main had burst in the floors of the apartment above. My whole room was showered with water and soaking plaster. Merry Christmas.

Another fine time, staying at my then-boyfriends family home for the holidays. I was in the shower, trying to get the hot water to work, and his bathroom had no lock on the door. I pulled aside the shower curtain angrily, exactly as the door opened to his brother and father in the hallway. They got a good look at me soaking wet, freezing, and full frontal nude, before I screamed and pulled the curtain shut. I hear my boyfriends dad yell that he thought my birthday suit was far nicer than my Christmas outfit. I never wanted to emerge from that room again.
