Today, my psychotic grandma set fire to our Christmas tree because she refuses to let us celebrate what she calls a twisted pagan holiday. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, my family and I were decorating the Christmas tree. It seemed a bit unstable, but we decorated it without any problems. Later, while my daughter sat by the tree, it began to fall. Her grandmother stopped the tree from hitting her. I, on the other hand, screamed like a little girl. I'm a 38 year-old guy. FML
Today, I was overseeing a nativity play rehearsal. Things went fairly well, until a boy's grandma stormed in, ranting that Christmas is a "Pagan abomination", and shouting for him and his mom to leave with her. Half the kids were left in tears, and we had to cancel the rehearsal. FML
Today, my grandma came over for the holidays. She tried explaining how Santa is actually Christ reincarnated, giving presents to all the good little Christian boys and girls. She'll be staying all week. FML
Today, it's that time of year again: my mom has threatened to disown me if I celebrate Christmas in any way, shape, or form. Yes, she is an extreme bible thumper. No, she doesn't see what is wrong with her behavior, nor does she care. FML
Today, my family was celebrating my grandma's 90th birthday. I pulled a little prank and got candles that keep relighting. After a few blows, my grandma fainted. FML
Today, I woke up to find our Christmas tree knocked over, unwrapped presents scattered everywhere, and my mom passed out on the sofa with a bottle of booze. Merry Christmas. FML
Today, my mom got drunk and decided to unwrap all my Christmas gifts and throw them at the wall. Ho, ho, ho. FML
Today, my perfectly healthy grandmother came to stay for Christmas. First, she persuaded my family to give her my bedroom. That would have been fine, until she demanded she should also have a bucket to piss in under my bed too. FML
Today, my psycho grandma yelled at me for being an "immature brat" by not offering to wash the dishes after dinner. I reminded her that when I offered last time, she raged at me for being "condescending." She responded by faking a heart attack and getting me indefinitely grounded. FML
Today, I woke up to my overly religious grandmother trying to shove salt down my throat yelling "DEMON BE GONE!". Why? I didn't wear the cross neckless she bought me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

To be perfectly honest, the Christmas tree is actually adopted from Germanic pagan traditions and there is no proof that Jesus was born on December 25th. She has a valid point.

What's a family holiday without unstable family members?

I don't care about your stupid beliefs, I'm so sick of it, organized religion is nothing put a crock of crap and don't tell me I can or can't celebrate everything a certain way because of some outdated piece of written hate literature like the Bible or imaginary angels or not real devils or your fifty-foot tall bearded man looking down from a cloud and all this pagan BS, I don't care if Christmas is Pagan or Christian or Muslim or whatever stupid nonsense you want shoved down my throat, I will celebrate it my own way the way I like it, and that's without all the religious crap behind it, and only to spend time with my parents and having fun opening gifts and eating turkey and looking at decorations, that is all, The End, Good Night!!!

Well, technically it does originate from a pagan holiday. But now has Christian meanings put behind it. Still, that's pretty crazy to set fire to a tree

She's right Christmas is only celebrated on the 25th because of the Catholics trying to convert the Catholics

Well...she IS right. Research your own holidays and you will find they have nothing to do with your Jewish savior.

He/she meant to say "Crispmas"... The well-known winter holiday where you burn a coniferous tree to a crisp inside your house. ;)

It is a twisted pagan holiday but the true reason before the weird shit is the birth of Christ so I wouldn't worry bout the pagan bullshit

Not only is your blatant disrespect for religions different than your own highly offensive, you aren't even correct. The "pagan bullshit" predates your religion by far. The only reason you celebrate the birth of Christ in December is because it falls around the same time as Yule and pagan holidays, symbols, and Holy grounds were taken and changed by the church in an attempt to convert non Christians.
