Today, my coworker and I announced that we are spending our holidays together, because we both have kids. My boss then announced that he's coming with us. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 got back from a holiday to find that my coworkers had prepared a “Welcome Back!” surprise. I pretended to be excited, only for them to awkwardly whisper that it was intended for another coworker, who was on her way back from maternity leave the same morning. FML
Today, my coworker and I agreed to come clean and tell our fellow employees that we have been secretly dating for a while. Before we could, I received a promotion. I'm now his boss. FML
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, I was told I would also be covering some of my boss's shifts next week. She gets to go on a vacation to Europe with the bonus we earned her last year. That's why she was tightening our deadlines to the point where some of the employees had to hire babysitters for their children so we could stay at work. FML
Today, my boss joined me on my vacation, to "make sure I actually went". FML
Today, my husband came home with a Christmas gift from a coworker. It's the same thing I got him. 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, my boss announced that instead of holiday bonuses being on the cards, the company is going under and we'll all be out of a job next year. FML
Today, I swapped a shift so I didn't have to work on New Year's Eve. An hour later, I realized I didn't have anyone to spend it with. I swapped it back. I'll be ringing in the New Year with my boss. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Your boss may be cool outside of work. Give him a chance.

I agree with #13. I'm a manager where I work and I'm not so up tight outside of work. But also I do agree it could be awkward. It'll only be awkward if you make it awkward!

Hope your boss is an asshole. If he's chill have a good time if not , well there isn't much you can do now without making it awkward . Good luck op. I never really want follow ups but this I'm curious about .

I learned this in middle school. If you don't want someone inviting themselves along, you don't mention a fun event until after you have done it. Especially around the holidays, because people get lonely and assume they can invite themselves along. If you do not want your boss coming with you, then take Boss to the side and let him know that you do not have extra room and are sorry. But I think you might get some points with the bossman if you invite him along.
