Today, my family is going to the USA for Christmas after being lucky and getting their tickets re-booked. My ticket was canceled due to the snow, and will not be re-booked. Merry Christmas to me, myself and a bottle of wine. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, after spending Christmas alone because my bus home got cancelled due to Covid, I found that I have to spend the New Year alone and potentially homeless because my flight home got cancelled. FML
Today, my family cancelled coming for Christmas again for the third time in four years. I only get to see my son for a few hours in the morning, then I'll be on my own the whole time. Again. FML
Today, I flew my wife, myself and three kids to pay a surprise visit to my parents who were going to be alone for Christmas. When we arrived, we found out they decided to go on vacation. We have nowhere to go. FML
Today, I got dressed up in my best attire and drove an hour to my family Christmas, only to find out it was canceled, and nobody bothered to tell me. FML
Today, I found out that my 2 week Christmas vacation my boss was talking about wasn't for this year, but 2010. I spent the day with my husband cancelling flights to Florida, and explaning to my 8 year old why we were not going to Disney World. FML
Today, I’d finally saved up enough to buy flights home for Christmas. After putting in the info several times, it wouldn’t work, so my husband decided to try and “help.” Not only did he buy flights to the wrong place, but now I have to wait another 5-7 days to be refunded. FML
Today, after our Christmas plans got cancelled because of COVID, to make ourselves feel better we made travel plans somewhere else, which also turned into a red zone the night before our departure, we are now going out for breakfast as our highlight of the year. Thankfully they are open. FML
Today, I treated my out of town family to a surprise opera experience as a belated Christmas present. When we arrived, there were people already in our seats. Upon checking the tickets, I realized that I had purchased them for the following Friday instead of today. FML
Today, my girlfriend's dad called to say she wasn't allowed to come with me on a three-day trip on New Year's. He waited until Christmas to say it, even though we booked and paid for the trip nearly a month ago. Now he ruined both holidays. FML
Today, besides the fact that I hate Christmas since my parents divorced, my mom told me she can't come this year with my sister because of no money. We even offered to pay for their tickets, but she won't come because of the "last minute" stress. Fuck this year. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

^agreed. My whole family went to Chicago last Christmas without me because I had to work. Just make the most out of the situation and you'll be alright.

Believe me, you got nothing to worry about. If they do that, it means they don't deserve you. Also, I can see you are from Sweden. I went there this summer and I would never leave that country for USA.

Sweden in the summer is a very different place than Sweden in the winter. When you were there, it was warm and sunny most of the day. Now it's cold, snowy, and dark most of the time. If OP lives far enough north I'm pretty sure its 24 hours darkness there right now.

31, you're from Romania... of course you think that, you're from a 3rd world country. you've probably never been here. all this luxury would make you feel inferior. it makes sense to me, poor guy.

WHAAAAAT?! this is my opinion (kind of a fact, too). USA is the best country in the world, I've traveled to various other countries and I currently live in spain and I don't see why so much want to visit Europe, I would give anything to be able to go back! but that's just me :3

You're from Jackson.

25 - You'd give anything to go back because that's where your family and memories are I'd wager? Everyone always misses where they spent the most time and had the most happy memories. People like traveling because they get to experience a new culture and explore a new place. I went to Japan a few years ago and I want to live there, that's how much I love it lol. OP, I understand you wanted to visit a new place. Sorry it didn't happen.

Let's not try telling eachother which country is better. You can't judge ALL of Europe based on a few countries. I didn't like the US, But that doesn't mean it's not a good place.

Exactly. There are awesome places everywhere, but other places are pretty shitty. It doesn't make the whole country, continent, world for that matter, lame. :)

oh well family holiday times are over rated! seriously use Skype... have them put it on there and place the screen at the spot u would've sat at and then u can participate and it will be the next beat thing to being there in the flesh! We have done that many times when my husband had been overseas....we carry the lap top around and he gets to see and talk to everyone!
