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, 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.

So you've been together long enough for him to trust you alone in his house, but you didn't know his religion? Something's not adding up here...seems weird to me.

You're asking the wrong questions on a first date; although if religion really means that much to you I would be glad you asked me... so I know there won't be a second.

Well, lights and a tree are pretty harmless. As long as you didn't put out a Nativity scene!

If it's been long enough in the relationship for you to be able to freely go into his house, you should have known by now he was Jewish.

Good job just assuming everyone is Christian. You deserved it - get your head out of the sand, other religions exist and should be respected.

I think if you haven't been dating long enough or seriously enough to know that he's Jewish, it's safe to say you shouldn't be sneaking around his house decorating....just a thought.

If he and his family were religious, OP would not be his g/f in the first place - a religious Jew may not touch a woman unless she is his wife. If they are not religious, Christmas decorations should not be a big deal. So what's the problem?

It's entirely possible to be religiously Jewish without being ultra-orthodox or essentially monastic; what you're saying is sort of like insisting that if a Christian so much as kisses someone before marriage then they're clearly not religious and shouldn't be decorating for Christmas. (And, incidentally, plenty of people of any faith -- including Christians! -- aren't gung-ho about Christmas decorations.)
