Hating Christmas

Hitsugaya Toshiro doesn't like his birthday or Christmas. The two events occur the same time each year and represent something he didn't have -- a family. That miserable time of year comes around again after the war with the Quincy. The Shiba clan invites him to their Christmas celebration -- this and certain things revealed to him adds to his misery. The young taicho of the tenth feels his misery can only grow as he is forced into an awkward social situation -- something he prefers avoiding.
