How Do I Get My Boyfriend To Stop Hating Christmas

This is a screenshot of an anonymous greentext post from 4chan. The original poster, a girlfriend, asks how she can get her boyfriend to stop hating Christmas, then shares his devastating tragic backstory: when he was 7 years old in 2001, he accidentally shoved his best friend out of their treehouse while playing tag during Christmas, which killed her. His already chronically ill mother suffered a fatal heart attack immediately after hearing the news, and his father died by suicide shortly after that. The poster ends by saying she loves Christmas and wants her boyfriend to enjoy the holiday with her, but he still wants nothing to do with it. The meme uses the classic 4chan greentext format to deliver a dark, unexpected tragic punchline to a seemingly innocent question.
