Today, my 25 year-old brother ran into my room very excited at 8 am. "Wake up! We got a new puppy!" he told me. I was so excited, I jumped out of my warm bed. When I asked him if he was serious, he said, "No, but we have to go to church, so get dressed." FML

I occasionally read the comments on here and they're like "That's not an FML, stop whinging.", but imagine if the only ones posted were actually awful ones. It would just be ******* depressing. While this might not be a true "FML", at least it's light hearted and might make you smirk. I'd rather that than summat along the lines of "Today, I had to have both hands amputated. FML".

Actually, Jesus wasn't even born in December; it's just a lie the Church made to cover up the Pagan holiday normally celebrated around this time of year.

I can actually kind of feel for you on this one. I'm pretty sure that the whole waking up thing wasn't really the FML, but the fact that her brother lied to her. In the morning. On Christmas. Besides, when you're dazed and tired, your judgement isn't exactly the best. Anyway, the waking up thing doesn't seem like much of a big deal. I got dragged out of bed at 4 AM.

The FML here isn't that she woke up early, it's that her brother's like "OMG PUPPIES" "Where?" "Nah I'm Jay-Kaying lets go 2 church now" Excuse my deplorable grammar in that storry.

I guess it's a bit of a let down that you didn't get a puppy, but church isn't that bad. Suck it up, it's only a couple hours most.

It doesn't matter when he was actually born. The early church feasts were based on the importance of certain events, not their literal timing. In fact, depending on whether a church follows the Gregorian or Julian calendar, Christmas can be in December or January. doesn't make a difference - it's WHAT the holiday is about that matters, not WHEN.

Well, if it worked... It's okay, I had to get up at 8 to make it to church too, but that was of my own volition.

I take it you like to sleep late in the morning. Your bro knows it too so he tricked you into getting up. Very clever. YDI for being such a selfish brat that you don't feel you have to go to church to celebrate the Lord's birthday. All you care about is presents.

Eh, FYL. You have a smart brother. (and to all the people saying to go to church on Christmas 'cause you have to, take into consideration that Jesus was born around July...)

My family goes christmas eve to church, then we go out to chinese food, and then we go explore lights. It is a great tradition, and it solves the "I have to go to church Christmas day" problem. Although I always get up at 5:45 a.m. to see the presents lol.
