A meme for the holidays

So there are all these cheerful memes about the holidays, and what varoius people will be gifting you with,m but some of my strangest memories of christmas are horrible. So:

what is the worst thing that happend at Christmas to:

the tree?

The food?

The weather?

The transporation?

the gifts?

The family fight?

The failure of the modern world: (example, the Christmas we had no running water, becuase the Orange groves next door pumped the aquifer dry... no, really.)
