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

70% off something you didn't need, a stampede and a cart that crashes at checkout. Thanks, Black Friday.
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 boyfriend came over to my parents' house for dinner. My dad made Holocaust jokes the entire time. My boyfriend is Jewish. FML
Today, my boyfriend decided to give me my Christmas present early because he's going to his grandparents' house for Christmas and won't see me. I was excited, until I unwrapped a sweater that I left there a month ago. FML
Today, I tried to surprise my boyfriend by cleaning the entire apartment before he came home. I even lit a candle and put fresh flowers on the table. When he walked in, he stared at everything and said, “Did someone come over?” My boyfriend thought a cleaning service had been hired. FML
Today, after having recently moved 300 miles to be with my boyfriend of 2 years, I have to celebrate Christmas alone. He never thought our relationship important enough to tell his family about me, and doesn't want it to be "awkward." FML
Today, I decided to pay a suprise visit to my boyfriend's house. I let myself in, walked up to his bedroom and found him dancing around. In the dress I had left the other weekend. FML

Today, my boyfriend asked me to meet his parents over Christmas. I was ecstatic. But there was one condition: I must go dressed as a girl since he hasn't worked up the nerve to come out to his parents yet. We've been dating for over a year. FML
Today, my fiancé's mother gave me a beautiful cross necklace to wear for my wedding. I'm 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.

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.

It's the thought that counts, right?
