Today, in the second week of August, hell has come to earth; my mom has been playing Christmas music all afternoon and is already searching online for decorations. I hope she buys a length of rope to go with them, because I've already given up on life. FML

Today, I came home to find my parents wearing Santa hats and blasting Christmas music at full volume. So begins three months of hell. FML

Today, I've had my tenth "Christmas" dinner since Christmas last took place. My mum has gone nuts and keeps playing Christmas music, making these dinners, and refusing to let me take down the Christmas decorations. My dad is too whipped to save us from this hell. FML

Today, my mother has issued a 'Christmas Ultimatum'. The rest of us have exactly 2 days to "get some Christmas around here" or we will feel her wrath. FML

Today, on the third of February, my mom finally relented and let us take the Christmas decorations down. FML

Today, my mother was digging up our Halloween decorations, and found the Christmas decorations as well. She's shoddily decorated the house already in half-Halloween and half-Christmas style to save time. I guess we'll be celebrating Christmasween for the rest of the year. FML

Today, my mom got drunk and decided to unwrap all my Christmas gifts and throw them at the wall. Ho, ho, ho. FML

Today, I'm already dreading Christmas. Our mom insists on fairytale-like decorations that everyone else pays for and helps her make. We're exhausted. She's the only one who doesn't have a job, but if we don't help she spends the day crying in her room. FML

Today, it's that time of year again: my mom has threatened to disown me if I celebrate Christmas in any way, shape, or form. Yes, she is an extreme bible thumper. No, she doesn't see what is wrong with her behavior, nor does she care. 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

Any one else want to join my movement of stopping premature Christmas decoration?

Yes, please! I'm a firm believer in not starting to celebrate Christmas until after Thanksgiving.

That is hell. How in the shit do people start celebrating Christmas early? I can understand decorating a few days or a week after Thanksgiving but this early...damn. I enjoy Christmas but that's too early for me, especially with this excessive heat where we live. At least my folks have either stopped caring or kinda put up a few decorations for the holidays.

I feel so sorry for you! May I suggest having a sit down with mom and gently offer a good therapist in town because... THIS IS NOT NORMAL. If she continues this till the actual day of Christmas, you will need one too. Explain to her that no family can afford this much therapy and if she cares about your mental health she just might come to her senses.
