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, 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.

Religious beliefs is not a first date conversation topic but its definitely something that should be brought up in the early stages of any relationship. And for OP to decorate his house like that, I can only assume that you guys have been dating for awhile. YDI.

he must really trust you considering he didn't bother telling you about his religion. Was there not any sign around the house that gave them away?

Why would you decorate anyone's house without permission? It's kind of an insult that you would feel they need to decorate for a holiday. If that's your tradition at your house great. Don't make someone celebrate the way you do.

As a rebuttal to the the discovery of your BFs religious preference you could have just said it was a Chanukah Bush.

Um yeah. if you know each other well enough to be alone in each other's place... then u should know his religion.

I'm going to go with what everyone else seems to be saying here. Obviously OP has been dating her boyfriend for long enough to where she should have some sort of idea as to his religion. Usually while getting to know someone in the early stages of dating you talk about your childhood and how you were raised. So I'm thinking they weren't dating long enough for her to pull this decorating stunt or she just never paid attention...

I'm Jewish and I have a Christmas tree so I don't think it's going to be a problem

It's on FML. It likely was a problem.

YDI for assuming he's a Christian.

If you don't know him well enough to know he's Jewish you don't know him well enough to decorate his house! YDI!

Decorated as in Xmas or fully? At least one can be taken down.
