Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Simply having a wonderful Xmas time!
Today, I came home and told my husband that I got my own Christmas present so he would have something to give me at the family gathering. He asked me if it was wrapped. I said it was. He said, "Nice." No follow up questions at all. FML

Today, my husband still hadn't gotten me anything for Christmas, so I bought and wrapped my own presents. Then I had my husband write 'to me, from him' on them so that I won't be embarrassed in front of my family on Christmas when it comes time to open presents. FML

Keeping up appearances
Today, just like every other celebratory day (like my anniversary or birthday) I ordered my own Christmas present. My husband doesn't get it. I tried to explain. He openly admits he has no idea what I like and has no interest in learning, but wants me to have something to open so he won't look bad. FML

Today, I bought a rather unique shirt for my boyfriend, planning to give it to him for Christmas. He showed up wearing the same shirt. This isn't the first time this has happened. FML

Today, my boyfriend gave me a box of chocolates for Christmas. I thought it was sweet until I noticed the heart drawn on the back. It's the same box of chocolates I gave him for Christmas. Christmas last year. FML

Today, after weeks of tirelessly organising a Secret Santa with work colleagues, we finally exchanged gifts. I got a stapler, which had been stolen from my desk the day before. FML

Today, I opened my Christmas presents with my husband. One of the things he got me was a ball gag. "Yeah," he said with a grin, "That one's more for me but I didn't wanna buy myself headphones." Cue our son asking me what it was. FML

Today, when I went to work, my nice coworker gave me a gift basket. And cookies. I had to tell him that I caught his kid keying my car last night. FML

Unless its a very close coworker I'm guessing you need to step up your gift ideas

That's why people only gave me candy and socks this year. They know it doesn't matter if someone else gives me the same thing.

Now he has two ? :P Or you could just put it on Ebay !

So you only got your husband one present, and one cheap enough that a co-worker could afford the same? I dunno...I know money is tight but I think I'd be a bit disappointed if that was the only thing I got from my partner, even if it wasn't a duplicate...so unless you literally saved and did your best and that was all you could afford, you kind deserve it..

Really need a follow up! What was the gift?

Either you don't pay enough attention to him to give him something personal that nobody else would guess, or his coworker is getting to know him way too well. Which is it so I know whether to call this a YDI or FYL?

Are you really so cheap that you got the same present as a co worker
