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 wrapped all my Christmas gifts at midnight. In my exhaustion, I forgot to label them. On Christmas morning, everyone will open presents while I try to remember who was supposed to get socks versus who was supposed to get a coffee maker. FML
Today, I was wrapping Christmas presents while watching a terrible Netflix Christmas movie to get into the holiday spirit. Halfway through, I realized I had wrapped my scissors and tape inside one of the gifts. Now I’m sitting here with unwrapped gifts and a deep annoyance at Christmas all together. FML
Today, I finally finished my Christmas shopping and felt like an absolute champion. That was until I got home and realized I'd left one of the shopping bags in the parking lot. The bag contained the most expensive gift I'd bought. 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, I put Christmas wrapping on old books and things I already own, because I realized that it's the only way I'll have anything under the tree this year. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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.

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.

don't you put the tags on the outside anyway?

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.

you probably won't do that a second time, and you have lots of time to fix it.
