Today, I had to slowly explain to my mother that Americans are not the only people who celebrate Christmas. FML

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Today, I had to slowly and very seriously explain to my mother why there is no 'White History Month'. I can't believe we are actually related. FML

Today, my mom mentioned that she doesn’t think she’s gonna let my baby sister believe in Santa. When I mentioned that I believed in Santa growing up, she casually replied with, "Yeah, well you were slow." FML

Today, my mother came over to visit, and my kids started excitedly telling her Christmas is coming soon. She freaked out, saying Christmas is a "Satanic holiday" and telling them that Santa is going to hell along with everyone who celebrates it. My children are now traumatized. FML

Today, my mother was digging up our Halloween decorations, and found the Christmas decorations as well. She's shoddily decorated the house already in half-Halloween and half-Christmas style to save time. I guess we'll be celebrating Christmasween for the rest of the year. 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 had to explain to a coworker that even though, yes, I’m Polish and, yes, my family’s from Poland, that, no, we’re not from The North Pole. We’re not from Antarctica either. FML

At last
Today, on the third of February, my mom finally relented and let us take the Christmas decorations down. FML

Today, I was at lunch with my mom and we were talking about how to tell my brother that Santa Claus isn't real. After we finished our conversation, I heard someone crying. Little did I know, two little kids and their parents were sitting in the booth behind me. FML

Today, I mentioned to my parents that Sunday is going to be awesome because it's Christmas. They responded with "Wait, this Sunday? In 3 days?!" Apparently they forgot. FML

14 - You're being sarcastic right? America is the only country that celebrates 4th of July. Other countries have their own Independence Days.

Pft. I wish. Southern Ontario's snow output has been rather disappointing over the past couple of years.

But we celebrate it the best. Lol, just kidding. Actually if I had my choice I'd celebrate like they do in Australia where it's hot. Right now I'm waiting on a snowstorm to dump several inches of snow on a city in the south that never has white Christmases.

We don't have Christmas here in Australia, we have "stand around the barbeque and chug back beers whilst the salads wilt and kids divebomb each other in the pool and we all give each other gift cards and then we pass out".
