Cant remember Christmas?

Sorry wasn't sure where to post this
I'm 32 and during a works training course and a question about childhood, I suddenly realised that I have no memory of Christmas or birthdays before the age of about 15.
It was me, my brother and mum and dad. It was pretty rough with domestic violence involved, but this has suddenly had an effect on me, how have I never realised before? I do have a lot of memories, most of them bad, but is it normal to block out good ones? Just assuming that we must have had SOME good memories, particularly Christmas and birthdays
