Today, I was wrapping Christmas presents for various people; 17 to be exact. It wasn't until I placed the last present on top of the stack that I realized I didn't put gift tags on any of them. FML

Today, I finally got around to writing my Christmas cards. After finishing, I realized I had written "Happy Birthday" instead of "Merry Christmas" on every single one. FML

Today, I noticed that even though I got all my Christmas shopping done a month earlier than usual, I forgot to put anything in the mail. FML

Today, I wrapped my boyfriend's Christmas presents for him, because he was too lazy to do it himself. This included my own present. FML

Today, my extended family came over for Christmas. I forgot to get a present for my extremely sensitive aunt. I took a gift from my re-gift pile and wrapped it quickly. Little did I remember that it was the same gift she gave me last year. She noticed. FML

Today, I realised that despite all my careful Christmas preparation, there is one thing I forgot to get. The gift for my wife, which I should've picked up from the shop I ordered it from. It’s sat in that shop right now at 7pm on Christmas Eve. I’m a dead man tomorrow morning. FML

Today, my husband still hadn't gotten me anything for Christmas, so I bought and wrapped my own presents. Then I had my husband write 'to me, from him' on them so that I won't be embarrassed in front of my family on Christmas when it comes time to open presents. FML

Today, after spending hours wrapping the presents for Christmas, I came back into the room to find that my dog had lost his toy, knocked over all the presents, and was frantically ripping at everything to find it. FML

Today, I spent an hour writing 80 thank you cards to everyone who attended my graduationg party. After carefully personalizing each one and sealing them shut, I realized I did not mark the envelopes with names. FML

Today, I left to go home for Christmas holidays. I got 3 hours away and realised I forgot the presents. Along with the engagement ring I was going to give to my girlfriend. FML

just think! you get to unwrap them all! it's like Christmas early! or you could just open a little piece, figure out who it's to, and put a bow on top of the hole you made.

I did that once, with alot more presents. It took hours to unwrap them, check them, get new paper and then tag them. I guess its just a lesson to be more organised?

This is the exact reason why we play that card game "Memory" as children.

You could probably narrow it down by size of the box or the sound it makes when you rattle it.

How did you not tag them as you wrapped them? I hate Christmas though and don't give gifts so I can't sympathize.

Now that you've practiced, you should be a pro at gift wrapping!

YDI for wrapping gifts THIS early... and don't say "some people celebrate when they have to/can" if that's the case YDI for A) being so cheap that you send out presents early to avoid the price hike in shipping costs or B) being so egotistic that YOU and your friends/family think that they can the date of Christmas!!!

Settle down, dumbass. I don't know when the OP sent this in, but either way, tomorrow is December and Christmas is coming up. For all you know, this person could be going out of town for the holiday and wanted to get started before she left.

they mean that they wouldn't know which present is for since they're already wrapped but yea that sucks... at least you still have few weeks to re-wrap them.
