To ask about your weirdest Christmas (lighthearted)

[SorryCantBeArsed]

Had this conversation at work today and got me wondering about other peoples. Mine is... A good few years ago I was invited to spend Christmas with friends, my then ih

Christmas 2012. Been ttc for over a year and was waiting to start clomid in the new year. Noticed during xmas dinner that my boobs were a bit sore, but didn't really think anything of it. Had a few drinks. Went to get in the shower and randomly decided to POAS, then totally forgot about it till i got out of the shower 15 mins later. The worlds faintest line was there and i spent the night frantically googling evaporation lines and occasionally bursting into tears and not drinking. DH got up at 8am to find a chemist that was open and returned with a clearblue digital, which was definitely positive so that one was memorable!

My most unusual was also one of my best. I decided very suddenly to leave where I was living (Chicago) and move to California. On Christmas Eve I got on a Greyhound bus. Spent two and a half days on it. By mid-morning on Christmas day, all the "normal" people had gotten off. All we had left were some Deadheads going to the New Years Eve Grateful Dead show in San Francisco and me.

There wasn't anything to eat at any of the stops because everything was closed for Christmas. We had to eat out of vending machines. At one point, we stopped at a McDonald's in Ogalala Nebraska where we had to wait for a couple of hours to rendezvous with another bus from Denver. The McDonald's opened for thirty minutes then we were expected to sit on the bus. We said, "Fuck this" and asked an employee if there wasn't something like a bar that was open. He pointed at a tiny dot on the horizon, out on the prairie. We had to cross the motorway and run through a foot of snow to get there, but it was an awesome bar. We drank and played pool for an hour and then went back to the bus.

We also smoked weed at every stop (Deadheads, you know). I am not really into weed but there wasn't anything else to do and I was stoned out of my skull all day long.

The other people on the bus were fun and interesting and we sat around singing songs and reading stories aloud.

It was a weird Christmas but it was fun.
