Today, in the second week of August, hell has come to earth; my mom has been playing Christmas music all afternoon and is already searching online for decorations. I hope she buys a length of rope to go with them, because I've already given up on life. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I came home to find my parents wearing Santa hats and blasting Christmas music at full volume. So begins three months of hell. FML
Today, I've had my tenth "Christmas" dinner since Christmas last took place. My mum has gone nuts and keeps playing Christmas music, making these dinners, and refusing to let me take down the Christmas decorations. My dad is too whipped to save us from this hell. FML
Today, my mother has issued a 'Christmas Ultimatum'. The rest of us have exactly 2 days to "get some Christmas around here" or we will feel her wrath. FML
Today, on the third of February, my mom finally relented and let us take the Christmas decorations down. 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, my mom got drunk and decided to unwrap all my Christmas gifts and throw them at the wall. Ho, ho, ho. FML
Today, I'm already dreading Christmas. Our mom insists on fairytale-like decorations that everyone else pays for and helps her make. We're exhausted. She's the only one who doesn't have a job, but if we don't help she spends the day crying in her room. 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 mom started getting ready for the Rapture. 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

I have two small kids, so Christmas is a big deal for us as a family. I try to start planning out presents and decorations early enough to not get stressed out in the time before the holidays. That means I collect ideas in the first two weeks of November, buy everything in the last two weeks of November, first decorations go up on Dec. 1st, rest gets gradually added over the next three weeks. August, though? Way, way too early!

My mum was listening to Christmas music the whole way home from our vacation. It was a 12 hour drive.

@49: Probably because there's that whole 'Halloween in July' or 'Trick-or-Treating in July'. I can't remember how or why it started though.

You know if you add a few comas and replace a few words this could be a poem.

If you add a few commas to anything it becomes a poem

You know I never believed it when people used "I just woke up" as an excuse for a stupid comment and know I believe them.

Did you know to believe or do you only believe them now?

Treating christmas like a presidential race, and starting way before anyone wants or cares about it.

Look at the bright side, she'll have 4 months to think of what to get you and not have to get you something last minute.

Not gonna lie, but my Christmas shopping has been done since this past Tuesday. Not excluding myself, follow USA rugby; so I shop the lie what my foster brothers interests are and shop around that. The hat, jacket and my backpack. But really, most people are batshit angry insane 2 days after my 21st

Probably, proper presents will do the trick ;) But I'm not shure.

'Tis NOT the season to be jolly. If she start so early it'll all fizzle out by October.
