Today, my husband announced that he was fed up with us being known as the neighborhood slobs, and prepared to take down all the Christmas decorations still up from last year. He then decided it was too much effort, and that he'd leave them up to give us a three month head-start. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, on the third of February, my mom finally relented and let us take the Christmas decorations down. FML
Today, my husband suddenly decided he was going to stop talking about all the changes he needed to make, and finally do them. That's great, except that in less than a day, he lost his shit at me and our young kids for not immediately fixing everything about ourselves as well. They're still sobbing and he doesn't care. 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 came home to find my parents wearing Santa hats and blasting Christmas music at full volume. So begins three months of hell. FML
Today, someone put dog turds underneath all the decorative reindeers' butts in my front yard. The chief suspect is my curmudgeonly, holidays-hating fuckball of a neighbor. Last week he repositioned them in very suggestive poses. FML
Today, my neighbors coated their house in flashing Christmas lights and blared out "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" all day long. Only 29 days left until Christmas. FML
Today, ever since the day we met, me and my wife haven’t cared about Xmas at all except for exchanging a few gifts. Well I don’t know what happened but I got home from work and she had bought £1800 worth of Xmas shit and decorated every room and the garden. In November. What? Why? FML
Today, my husband decided he was finally going to quit his job. We literally bought a house last week. His job is/was easy, with pay way above his qualifications. After we'd talked about it FOR THE 50TH TIME, he did the opposite and texted the dept. head that he hates the company and wants to be part time at most. FML
Today, my husband of 12 years announced that he wants a divorce and that he hadn't liked me in YEARS. FML
Today, my husband came home and sat in his car out front for fifteen minutes. I went and knocked on the door, asking what he was doing. Apparently, I always dump so much shit on him the second he walks in the door that he needs a little peace between work and coming home to me. Ungrateful ass. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

It would be almost pointless to take them down now... But you should probably attend to that soon after Christmas this year...

Or just do like my neighbor does and take them down yourself! Can't always be counting on men to do the work, that was the 50's. (yes, I'm a guy, but my dad's the same way sometimes)

Yeah OP sounds like the lazy one. If you don't like it, do it yourself

Maybe if you leave them up Santa will come everyday. Who knows?

Call me crazy, but op could have...just maybe...not written an fml and took down the lights herself

^why not both.. It's not like writing an FML is going to take the whole day.

I don't understand how this has anything to do with Shaq

Peoples usernames often have nothing to do with their FML because they already had their account before posting the FML..where have you been?

#3 Why is your comment all about JayZ and not anything about the FML?

23- you made me not want to live on this planet anymore
MrSassypants 34
KaySL, you must have not read my profile. It's obvious #28 was wanting to leave this planet because I'm an inspiring astronaut. It's not like he thought I was a hopeless idiot and he himself did not understand sarcasm, nooooo. That would be just plain stupid.

That is excellent. I leave mine up in my room all year round. Complete with moving deer.

That's the smartest way to go. I mean, in a single day, the husband turned from the biggest slob in the neighborhood into the most proactive guy there. Good for him.

I feel too normal now for taking them down no more than two weeks after :(
onlychildFTW 34
You should take them down. It's a good idea

No one I've ever known doesn't take down their Christmas decorations. That's just wierd.

I seen people that leave them up all the time and just light them up in December. They tried leaving the manger up all year round, but raccoons kept stealing all the baby Jesuses during the summer.

15- I'll have to remember that... If I ever need Raccoon bait, they like garbage and baby Jesus statues...

Christmas only happens once a year. Same should go for Christmas decorations.
JustKittyKat 24
As in, only have them up once a year, during Christmas.
Dixbfloppin 11
Whoa. And all this time I thought Christmas lights were only supposed to go up during Easter.

Because I come across certain idiots that need things simplified.

Halloween must be an interesting time of year, what with all the inflatable snowmen and bright lights on the lawn.

It's going for the ironic effect lol
MrSassypants 34
Don't forget about blowing out the candles on the cake and pinching other people for not finding Easter eggs on this happy 4th of July.

7- Their house is going as "Christmas House" for Halloween this year.
mikeofthunder 13
Ever since Black Christmas, I've been thinking twice about Santa coming down the chimney! I say thumbs up for originality

Christmas of horrors.

I guess you can say its the Nightmare before Christmas.

Sounds like my family. One time we had our Christmas tree and lights up for two years straight. Laziness at its finest...
Kiki242 19
Damn man that's sad.
weasel123 9
I agree.

Yule be glad he left the decorations up when November comes around.
