That Was the Worst Christmas Ever! (Day Six)

Here's a Christmas song of a very different sort. It was my introduction to Sufjan Stevens last year when iTunes offered it as a free single of the week. I'm still not entirely sure what to make of it, other than that Stevens's melody and haunting vocals make it worth hearing. With that in mind, what was the worst Christmas you ever had?

Going outside
Shoveling snow in the driveway, driveway
Taking our shoes
Riding a sled down the hillside, hillside
Can you say what you want?
Can you say what you want to be?
Can you be what you want?
Can you be what you want?

Our father yells
Throwing gifts in the wood stove, wood stove
My sister runs away
Taking her books to the schoolyard, schoolyard
In time the snow will rise
In time the snow will rise
In time the Lord will rise
In time the Lord will rise

Silent night
Holy night
Silent night
Nothing feels right
