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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, just like every other celebratory day (like my anniversary or birthday) I ordered my own Christmas present. My husband doesn't get it. I tried to explain. He openly admits he has no idea what I like and has no interest in learning, but wants me to have something to open so he won't look bad. 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 came home and told my husband that I got my own Christmas present so he would have something to give me at the family gathering. He asked me if it was wrapped. I said it was. He said, "Nice." No follow up questions at all. FML
Today, my wife asked me to wrap an empty box to put under the Christmas tree. She didn't want her vlog followers to think she didn't get me any gifts. FML
Today, my husband came home with a Christmas gift from a coworker. It's the same thing I got him. FML
Today, I opened my Christmas presents with my husband. One of the things he got me was a ball gag. "Yeah," he said with a grin, "That one's more for me but I didn't wanna buy myself headphones." Cue our son asking me what it was. 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, 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 thought my mom and I could put aside our differences and open our Christmas presents. When she opened mine, she turned to my dad and said she didn't want the present, so I could give it to someone else. 'Tis the season. 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

At least you didn't get a crappy gift, just a crappy husband

Wow, that's kinda sad. No offense. I've known some people that have had to do that.

I haven't gotten a Christmas gift (or even a birthday card, much less present) since the first year with my husband. It's been 13.5 years. I feel your same disappointment.

I'm sorry, but why go through all that trouble? Sure, it'd be slightly embarrassing for you that your husband didn't get you anything, but it'd been so much easier to just sit there and say every time someone else in your family opened their gift, "Aww! Honey! Look what they got! Why couldn't you go out and buy me something that nice and thoughtful?" and embarrass him along the process.

You are just like my mother, she buys a gift and tells me to deliver it to grandma as it were from me....

Hopefully he surprised you on Christmas morning with some hidden gifts, but, if not, at least you're guaranteed to like your gifts.
