Today, my custom printed Christmas cards that I reviewed twice before ordering, came in the mail. This year I will be wishing everyone a "wondeful" holiday season. I'm an elementary school teacher. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I finally got around to writing my Christmas cards. After finishing, I realized I had written "Happy Birthday" instead of "Merry Christmas" on every single one. FML
Today, I used my Christmas holiday time to open up a load of old letters. There were a lot of bills, of course, but there was also a note telling me that I'm due for a tax inspection. Merry F*ing Christmas! FML
Today, I was at a small secret Santa with a group of friends. Everyone got each other some amazing gifts, the first person got a homemade self portrait, the second person got some professional grade playing cards, the third person got an album of past memories, and I got a pack of pens. FML
Today, I sent a christmas card to my husband's uncle and aunt. I'd forgotten that the uncle died last year. FML
Today, after many days of messing around with wording and pictures, a huge and expensive printed card order came in to the office. I spelled the first word wrong. I can't get a refund. FML
Today, I found the Christmas 'newsletter' my mom sends out every year to our extended family and friends that details our activities and achievements of the past year. I wasn't mentioned once. FML
Today, I went home, where I live alone, from my dorm room at my university. The only Christmas cards I had received were addressed to the person that lived there before me. FML
Today, feeling festive, I sent everyone on my phone's contact list a holiday message. Almost everyone replied back "who's this?" FML
Today, after having spent days working on it, I finished off a really elaborate seasonal greetings card for my boss. When I gave it to him, he took one look at it, flicked it in his trash can and said, "Fuck off, Steve." So much for a Christmas bonus. FML
Today, it was my birthday and everyone in the office chipped in to buy me a card, and nothing but a card. It had a pre-written message on it and a space to write "Love, *insert name*" where everyone signed their names. The "Love" was crossed out and replaced with "From". FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

You'd think the card company would take care of that. Play it off as a joke "can you find the mistake?" Or just be straight up and stop bitching.

Exactly, use a red pen to correct the mistake and write a grade at the top "B-". Everyone will think its hilarious and it will make your cards way more original.

Maybe if you were a secondary school teacher you would've a. noticed the mistake sooner or b. known that you can ask the company to re-print because they messed up after the proof was correct.

well they have alot of ignorant people, maybe they will pronounce it the proper way and not catch on to the spelling.

YDI for sending Christmas cards out already.

They haven't sent them already they just received their order from the printers.

Judging by the shining examples of education we see in these comments, a) that standard of spelling sounds about right, and b) no-one will notice. The 'B-' idea sounds like the best way to handle it, or alternatively, 'If you can find the mistake in this, thank a teacher'.

Yeah that'd be a good alternative also.

Make some lemonade and then use your skills as a teacher to be creative and you'll end up with the best Christmas cards ever! Or at least some really cute ones.
