Run away from home now! Don't pack! Don't take anything! Run, run ,run!

I don't think you can have it fixed before Christmas. May as well fess up and get it over with. You might be surprised how well they accept the news. The instruction manual should have repair locations in it. Read and give one a call.

Make sure that your will and life insurance papers are in order...

Or maybe they have insurance or a service contract that covers it...

not much can be done, tell your parents anyways, if its still under warranty , may be able to get replaced or fixed, calm down....

lens error, or cracked/broken...
