<human>: Can you summarize the given text in a few sentences?

my ex ruined xmas for me, partly because her bday is shortly after it. 
always hinted that her bday was lame because it was mixed in with xmas, but wanted to do something special for my bday (even though she was spending time with some other guy & i could sense it was gonna end & without any honesty or communication, just bs cop outs).   
she said it was upsetting that i didnt want to do anything crazy for my bday way back early on, that just wanting to relax somewhere with a view and her isnt how a bday should be spent, at least if it were hers. 
i was going to take her on a ski trip to stowe for her bday or do something great for her, let alone make a gnarly card for her. alas we did not last long. she did however resurface interests i have had for subcultures and halloween. alas i spent halloween with another girl.  
to me xmas is on the same level as valentines, but i guess that depends on what kind of attention seeking crazy depressed selfish girlfriend you have.  

anyhow. the point is,
<bot>: ex ruined xmas whining about her bday short after it, but resparked how fun halloween and steam-punk culture is.
