Today, I decorated my boyfriend's house for Christmas as a surprise, just in time for him and his family to come home. Also just in time for him to tell me he's Jewish. FML

If she didn't already know her boyfriend was jewish, I feel it was too early in the relationship to do anything to his house as a surprise.

I find it creepy that you broke into his house.

You're dating and didn't know that...

YDI for assuming that everybody's Christian.

Plenty of people who aren't Christian celebrate Christmas, and some people who are Christian don't celebrate Christmas.

I didn't realize my husbands family celebrated Christmas until I went over when we were first dating and asked. when people are in a different religion it can be hard to know, but often people celebrate Christmas. Don't feel to bad OP

It's not the lack of awareness OP needs to feel bad about, it's the fact that she went in and changed someone else's property without consultation or permission.

I can almost understand this because if he's non-practicing then things like high holidays and diet restrictions wouldn't come up, but at the same time, how did you never ask "What does your family do for the holidays?"

I feel like this is something people know before they start dating and reach a stage where they have spare keys to each others homes etc. Either that or there's a decent chance that his last name would have given it away.

Ah Dreidel! Don't feel Gelt-y. You didn't know. Are you now curious why there were no Hanukkah gifts exchanged with you for the past few days since Tuesday 12/16 thru 12/24?? Not even a cheap pen? :P

Hey that was a nice gesture. If I were your boyfriend I'd be thankful that you put so much effort in trying to make me happy. Just explain to them and apologize.. I'm sure they'd understand. It's not like you put up hidden cameras and peepholes. Don't be so hard on yourself.
