Today, my manager rejected my leave application for Christmas. Later I found out that I'm going to be the only employee working at the office during Christmas. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, it's Christmas day. Normally, I'd be spending it with family. However, my boss decided everyone has to work today, despite the fact that there's enough people who want to work to run the place. Apparently it's "fairer" if we all have to do it - except him. FML
Today, while at work, I was asked to see my boss. I was informed that the company would be laying off 20 people, and that I was one of them. I was told I could finish off the week, then was sent back to work. Twenty minutes later, my boss walked around and handed us all Christmas party invitations. FML
Today, my boss sent me a text message saying, "You're fired. Merry Christmas!" FML
Today, my boss thought it would be a great idea to delay paying me until after Christmas. There goes rent, bills, food and of course Christmas presents. FML
Today, I was informed after submitting my request to have Christmas off about 2 weeks prior to Thanksgiving that I was denied. About 15 minutes later, I overheard the person that denied my request talking with another agent, who put their request in today, that they were granted the holiday off. FML
Today, my boss asked me if I had any special plans for Christmas. After I told him I was planning a trip to Canada, he snapped, "Well, you can forget it. I need you at the office." FML
Today, after working my ass off for months trying to prove myself, I received an email from my boss regarding the end-year function. Excited to be invited, I opened the email just to see I'm the only one being left behind to answer the phones. FML
Today, our boss is upset at us because not one person is going to the Christmas party that she so kindly bought all the snacks and drinks for. She scheduled it for noon, on the 25th of december. CHRISTMAS DAY. Hell, no no one is going, they’ll be with their families, not voluntarily going to work. FML
Today, my work's annual Christmas party is at 3:00. Everyone in the office is off work at 2:00, except me and the boss who is staying 'til 4:00. I have been informed the boss is leaving early today to attend the Christmas party, but I need to lock up when I leave at 4:00. FML
Today, after telling my bosses how much I dislike the Christmas holiday, they assigned ME to organize and host a holiday party for our whole company, with a “Mariah Carey Christmas Karaoke.” I hate Christmas. FML

That's pretty bad... Either he's trying to hint that you're doing something wrong at work regularly or he's being a major dick

Free dress day! Come in your pajamas, dress up like superman... Or your birthday suit perhaps? Who will know if you run around the office naked, rubbing your dick or balls over stuff? Your bosses chair, telephone, sit on his desk and drag yourself across the top of it... Photocopy your butt... The possibilities are endless, let your imagination run wild!!! Have fun and make the most of a shitty situation op. Hope your New Years is better.

Did you ask after everyone else? I know some places like keeping a few people in for whatever reason and most of the time it's first come first serve for time off. I always put mine in as soon as I could.

I think that's supposed to be a reference to an episode of the Simpsons.

That was so thoughtful of him! Merry Christmas! While everyone's gone, you should leave a little 'gift' of some sort on his desk. Fake vomit maybe?

Did you make sure you asked for time off at least a month in advance? Everyone puts in for it so planning ahead is a must.
