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

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, I went to the store to get Valentine's Day gifts to decorate my boyfriend's and my new apartment. He was there shopping with his wife. FML
Today, I found out my boyfriend is only staying with me because I’m getting him a signed poster for Christmas. 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.

I feel like it's a bit strange that you know them well enough for it not to be weird for you to go into their house and decorate it without their knowledge, but not know that they're Jewish

Yes I say it's the thought that counts.

Either he has a Jewish sounding name and you're just dumb, or you really don't know your boyfriend as well as you should. Either way, YDI.

For the record, I come from a Jewish family and either way, I would be ******* ecstatic to see my house decorated for Christmas.

For the record, I come from a vaguely Jewish family, and I would be appalled to come home and find my house bedecked in Christmas decorations. Some like it, others don't. It's rarely good to assume what other people would like done to their home.

For the record, I come from a mixed but non-practicing background, and I'd be pissed if anybody redecorated my apartment for Christmas, Hanukkah, or anything else without my knowledge.

Even if he did celebrate Christmas, it is really weird to decorate someone's house without their knowledge, especially if it's his PARENTS' house and not his (OP said the boyfriend and his family came home, so I assume he is still living with his parents). I'm guessing they're going to remember you as "that one girlfriend who had no sense of boundaries."

The boyfriend's family could have taken advantage of having the week off to visit, but if you're right, that definitely adds another layer of "hell no" to OP's actions!

So you broke into someone's house but you didn't even know their faith? Can we say stalker? Although apparently not a very good one.

I don't see why a Jewish person could not celebrate Christmas. I'm an atheist and Christmas doesn't bother me a bit. I don't care about the religious background it only has partially.

I'm an atheist. I don't celebrate Christmas because: 1. I don't have the time or patience for decorating. 2. I hate shopping even when the stores aren't jam-packed. 3. I just saw all the relatives I hate at Thanksgiving last month. Why would I subject myself to them again so soon? 4. Christmas music blows.

I'm Jewish and we celebrate the Hallmark version of Christmas. We have a Christmas tree up, lots of snowmen and Santa Clauses, etc. It's a wonderful gesture, regardless of the fact that he's Jewish or not.
