That sucks man- you were just a kid, but I understand why that event would teneciously keep coming back. Hopefully you can work with yourself not give that a negative association when it comes up.

You're lucky, my mom still gives me poo poo about a stocking stuffer that she thinks I stole like 23 years ago.

LifeSunDeath posted:My reading comprehension was pretty poor and my mother has a similar name to myself. We had a bunch of gifts under the tree, so many that I started peeling off gifts from under the tree a week or two before xmas, secretly opening them in my room, and no one noticed. Since I couldn't read very well, I ended up opening a bunch that were meant for my mom, poo poo like porcelain figurines and stuff that at the time I was really confused about why I was getting this as a gift but kept going. Eventually I was discovered since I'd significantly thinned out the present bounty. I ended up breaking a bunch of the gifts on accident because I as just cramming everything in this area behind my toychest. I still feel really bad about even though I'm the only one who remembers or cares. As a 7 year old, you were not the problem. The idea of presents just loitering around under the tree for more than a week is frankly bizarre to me. They should all show up at once Christmas morning.

We would open all the extended family gifts christmas eve, then get the good mom gifts on christmas morning, which weren't put out until then. I have tons of great xmas memories, but that one year I did a bad so hard it filed me with lifelong guilt. Brains are weird and stupid most of the time.

This is the proper way to do it because our rule is "you can open gifts after Christmas Eve dinner" and then I sit there and torment the kids by really savoring that meal.

How the gently caress do Santa's presents get there Cristmas Eve. Also I think opening presents the night before is a German tradition.

Skwirl posted:How the gently caress do Santa's presents get there Cristmas Eve. We did a cultural thing in like third grade and I only remember getting candy in my shoe from the HS German Class. Then in HS German we made special tree cookies and that's most of what I remember from 20 years ago when I was president of the German Honor Society that I don't remember the name of. I remembered a surprising amount when I was actually in Germany, though.

Skwirl posted:How the gently caress do Santa's presents get there Cristmas Eve. It is also a Czech thing. The Christkind brings them in the evening. As a parent you have to find a way to make the presents appear under the Christmas tree when the children aren't looking. In my family we would go throw sparklers from the balcony after dinner and some adult would stay behind and put the presents under the tree, light up the candles and ring a bell. It was quite nice.

The most effective cure I know for embarrassing childhood memories is being around children that age and remembering that they're all loving stupid crackhead morons with zero inhibition and nothing they do actually matters, even the smart ones. My nephews "ruin" things all the time and I still love them, maybe even more so because of it.

It also comes in really handy if one of the kids acts up because you can go "I WARNED YOU OF THE CONSEQUENCES!!!" and throw one of the fake presents into the fireplace, telling them it was of theirs

Captain Hygiene posted:Hey everybody, check out this goodbrain over here marshmallow creep posted:loving lol if you aren't haunted by your infancy The trick is to suppress every memory older than a week. Intellectually, I assume that I was a child once and it stands to reason I did things back then. Besides, it's 2020, so every week feels like decades.
