So I spend a few hours at a friend's house wrapping presents for my family, get back home about to be all happy

aaaand they're watching Shoah

merry fucking christmas everybody

SO YEAH post your holiday frustrations/FMLs!

Aww :c lol My ass is of the broke variety so...I was trying to get my boyfriend's prezzie at the last minute. Couldn't find one and then come to find out his mom had the same idea I had. Settled for getting him a gift card instead. Because nothing says "I love you more than anything." quite like a generic holiday gift card. :c

I hate wrapping clothes without a box or some more solid structure. Otherwise, the wrapping paper just kind of goes "PEH!"

Aka - to heck with my wrapping two sweaters for my Dad! It looks like someone slept/sat on the package.

You could've rolled them,it would have been easier ;) (I usually roll the clothes to wrap them)

I hate Christmas so fa la lala I don't care meh. (I used to be ok with xmas,til nope - I have reasons)

I bought some stocking stuffers back in October, along with a Christmas card for my mom. I have no clue where I put them. I tore all my closets apart and no stuffed animals or x-mas card. My mom said "Maybe you didn't buy them". STFU. I know I did.

Haha, great movie for the holidays... I completely failed at getting gifts this year. Just got some little stuff. I dunno if I should try to run out and grab some more stuff today or just go with what I got...I am disappointed in myself D;

I tried that, made it worse. XDD I can't wrap clothes.

Omg really xD?I used to work as a wrapper?(I have no idea how it's called).But I was wrapping gifts for last minute people in the middle of the mall,so I got some legit skills.

I can't wrap quickly. I found that out at work at the other day.

The hardest to wrap are probably clothes and awkward shaped items. I bet your work was a masterpiece :P

Mine is vaguely rectangular, lmao. The ones in boxes are fine. (The one I wrapped at work had a loose-fitting bottom so I started wrapping and it caved in, I kid you not.)

Ah ah oh my god :'D I had to wrap a vacuum without box.A VACUUM WITHOUT BOX.The paper is super cheap,so the edge kept ripping so in the end there was a lot of tape involved. The guy was laughing and I was like: dude no you don't even have the guts to do it yourself.

Lmfao, I would have paid to see that wrapping job.

It was good!Our team won in the end(it was for a good cause but we turned it into a challenge).My wrapping job gave me a good 10$ and the guy was happy. I deserve some flipping award.

I agree. Anyone who can wrap something like that deserves something.

I already had my big huge FML moment when I was violently ill all day out both ends on Thanksgiving. I'm hoping Christmas goes better. All the stress just gets to me like crazy...I have problems with anxiety as it is and all this extra stress isn't really good for me. The two performance choirs I'm in had their concerts already though, and both went absolutely fantastic, so that's good, and now both choirs are on hiatus until March, so that's two things off my mind for now. Then I'm singing at our midnight mass tonight at my church and tomorrow morning at Christmas morning mass (which I volunteered for because there were no other altos that could come). The morning mass will be...fun...because I'll be the only person in my section (which usually has four), but I have a strong voice and know the songs backwards and forwards so it'll hopefully be okay. I also have cookies left to decorate...which I should probably be doing right now. And I have to somehow whip my new curly hair into submission, lol. The perm was a Christmas present from my mom and I love it, but it's a lot different doing curly hair than straight. And again I'm rambling...basically because I'm procrastinating doing anything I should be doing, lol.

I suck at wrapping presents, so I put most gifts in bags instead. I still have to wrap presents sometimes, though.

Aahaha. Well I was in a (minor thankfully) car accident coming home from work the other day (I work retail during the holiday rush), and then I overslept because I thought it was my day off the day before Xmas eve and come to find out I got called in unshowered and exhausted, still injured from my accident. Thankfully I didn't have to work on Xmas eve, but some of my co-workers were going out for Christmas drinks and I overheard one of them say I wasn't invited. For whatever reason. That was k3wl.

So, it's really just me and my mom who has been non-stop drinking for the holiday as per usual since we lost most of our family and I don't really mind it because I know I'll be spoiled gifts wise but it's really lonely I have to admit sometimes! It could be worse though and I'm sure one day it will be better. I hope all of you have a good holiday. :|

Mom doesn't talk to me. Dad didn't let me get my beers because this is their house and I don't drink in their house. Sister just doesn't give a fuck in all this and is watching The Walking Dead next to me. FML.

[edit] Not to mention that I didn't want to go to Church with them because of the faces mom makes to me when she sees me. And I only have the dinner with my dad because my sister was watching TV and my mom was.... somewhere? No homemade food also. Everything was bought...
