Today, after spending hours putting up our tree and decorating it, it fell over and shattered the glass ornaments. FML

Today, I woke up to find our Christmas tree knocked over, unwrapped presents scattered everywhere, and my mom passed out on the sofa with a bottle of booze. Merry Christmas. FML

Today, our Christmas tree was damaged beyond repair after my son and his friends borrowed it for a little experiment. They tied balloons to the branches and tried to make it fly, after seeing a similar video online. FML

Today, my apartment was broken into. The thief stole my TV, $350, and my Christmas tree. There is still a trail of broken ornaments from my living room to the door. FML

Today, my family and I were decorating the Christmas tree. It seemed a bit unstable, but we decorated it without any problems. Later, while my daughter sat by the tree, it began to fall. Her grandmother stopped the tree from hitting her. I, on the other hand, screamed like a little girl. I'm a 38 year old guy. FML

Christmas Chaos

Today, I spent 15 minutes trying to get my cat out of our seven-foot Christmas tree. Once he was done, he tore about the house and broke the nativity scene, beheading baby Jesus and a wise man in the process. The tree is fucked. FML

Today, while driving home from work, I heard a loud crash immediately followed by the sound of wind and shifting glass over my head. My sunroof exploded for no perceptible reason 5 days before Christmas. FML

Today, in an effort to repair our fake Christmas tree, my girlfriend succeeded in gluing it to the floor. I can't get it loose. FML

Today, the framed memorabilia that I spent $195 on last week came crashing to the floor. It was on my wall for less than 2 hours. The picture is torn and the glass is shattered, but at least the frame is alright. FML

Today, we brought our Christmas tree inside to decorate. We decorated it, then went out to dinner as a family. Returning 2 hours later, we came back to find our living room to be occupied. Not with people. The tree had been filled with baby spiders, and they were all over the living room. FML

Yes, for attempting to get into the spirit of a holiday OP likes, he deserves a tree to fall and ruin his ornaments. Some families have a tradition of putting the tree up after thanksgiving. Stop being an insensitive douche who thinks his way of life is the only one.

I'm pretty sure the twelve days of Christmas are actually afterwards? You're nit supposed to take the tree down until the twelfth one.

This is why I'm glad we have another festivity before christmas here in the netherlands (sinterklaas). Means all the christmas crap can't start too soon, and the "christmas tree fallen over/set on fire/destroyed by cat" will be held off for a bit too. Disclaimer: writer of this post has nothing against christmas, just against the way it's been commercialised. Any spelling/grammar mistakes in this post are unintentional and need not be corrected.

Isn't that a bit too early to decorate a Christmas tree? It isn't even December... Oh well the whole fuss seems to start earlier and earlier every year...
