Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

A cat called Bruce
Today, we spent hours decorating the Christmas tree, perfectly balancing the lights, ornaments, and tinsel. Ten minutes later, the cat thought it was a right time to reenact Die Hard and climbed up the tree, knocking it over. Now my ornaments are shattered, and my cat is smugly sitting in the wreckage. 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, our Christmas tree was damaged beyond repair after my son and his friends borrowed it for a little experiment. They tied balloons to the branches and tried to make it fly, after seeing a similar video online. FML

Today, my apartment was broken into. The thief stole my TV, $350, and my Christmas tree. There is still a trail of broken ornaments from my living room to the door. FML

This FML is from back in 2018 but it's good stuff
Christmas Chaos
Today, I spent 15 minutes trying to get my cat out of our seven-foot Christmas tree. Once he was done, he tore about the house and broke the nativity scene, beheading baby Jesus and a wise man in the process. The tree is fucked. FML

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
Tree of life
Merry Christmas!
Today, I bought a Christmas tree and carried it up three flights of stairs alone. I finally got it inside, only to realize it was too tall. I tried trimming it, but now it’s crooked, shedding everywhere, and leaning like it gave up on life. I hope the greenish marks on the ceiling won't be permanent. FML

Today, while driving home from work, I heard a loud crash immediately followed by the sound of wind and shifting glass over my head. My sunroof exploded for no perceptible reason 5 days before Christmas. FML

Today, in an effort to repair our fake Christmas tree, my girlfriend succeeded in gluing it to the floor. I can't get it loose. FML

It was probably too heavy from all the glass ornaments you put on it.

There's nothing wrong with putting a tree up early.

We just finished Thanksgiving, can't we hold off a little while before we get roped into Christmas? I'm not ready for this. Hell, even your tree wasn't ready for this.

The tree would rather commit suicide then put up with a month of being decked out in ornaments.

Our family has a tradition of putting it up on thanksgiving..

17- Mr. T does it every day of his life. A tree can take a month with a bunch of ornaments on it.

F the trees life. taking the tree from its natural habitat, you forced the poor tree to stand for hours, holding up heavy glass balls until it collapsed.

You can feel the Christmas cheer already.
