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

today, after writing a sentence, the subjunctive clause thought there was something with it.

Gotta be extra careful tightening up the base securely. Though isn't the tree going to be completely done for in a month's time anyway? Back when I still bothered putting up a tree, I'd just buy a pre decorated fake one on the 26th for 75% off, save it until next year, put it up, throw it out after Christmas and repeat.

If it's a fake one, why throw it out? They don't die off like real ones, might as well re-use it. If you think it's boring to have the same deco every year, just strip it off and use your own deco. This sounds kinda... Wasteful :p

Err hello? it's f**king November the last time I checked. Maybe you should consider starting around February next time! Farkwit!

That's what happens when you decorate your Christmas tree in BLOODY November.

since they were preparing for Christmas and not actually celebrating it, let me fix that for you. "hey, it's January already? Good time to get the valentines presents" "oh look, it's already June! Good time to buy the fireworks" "its finally September! Good time to buy costumes" Nice try though.
