TIFU by ruining the magic of Christmas

Every year around the holidays I am still saddened at the fact that I ruined the magic of Christmas by being a nosy child.

Christmas was my favorite time of the year as I came from a lower income household so I didn’t get presents unless on my birthday and Christmas. During my childhood my mom went all out fully decorating our house in a Christmas theme, ranging from Christmas hand towels all the way down to Christmas rugs. Christmas was her favorite holiday as a kid and she wanted that same magic for my brother and I.

Going back to when I was 10 years old my brother and I both believed in Santa but also knew our parents would give us one gift with mom and dad written on the box, but the rest came from Santa.

One day my brother and I decided we couldn’t wait till Christmas Day and decided to look for the one present that was coming from our parents, so we looked everywhere, under beds, in closets, but ultimately decided to go into the crawl space to look further.

After checking nearly every container in our crawl space, we got to the last couple of boxes under a blanket, and under that blanket contained every Christmas gift for the both of us. We were both a bit puzzled, as we thought Santa didn’t bring gifts until Christmas morning. Of course being nosey children we went through each item. The TIFU moment occurred when I got my hands on a Yak Bak (the let you record messages on them) naturally I hit the play button and it was a voice recording of my mother saying “Ho ho ho merry Christmas” in her best efforts to sound like Santa. We both instantly realized that Santa and my mom were the same person and it crushed us. The magic of Christmas was gone just like that, and I felt tremendous guilt of spoiling it for myself.

While playing with the Yak Bak I accidentally recorded over my mom’s Santa voice and once that happened it was gone forever. Fast forward to Christmas morning I’ll never forget when I unwrapped the Yak Bak and my mom asked me to hit play to see if Santa left a message, and when I did that, I was me making fart noises. The look on my mom’s face still pains me to this date 25 years later, the sheer look of disappointment and sadness on her face on what was supposed to be a special message ruined by nosey children who just couldn’t wait to know what gifts they got on Christmas.

My mother passed away a few years ago from cancer and since then I have a child of my own. As a parent I know find myself in similar shoes as my mother wanting Christmas to be just as magical for my daughter specifically with Santa in honor of my mom.

I miss my mom dearly and what I wouldn’t give to still have that Yak Bak with her voice on it.

TL;DR - I spoiled Christmas by being nosey only to find out my mom was Santa.

TIFU almost so bad by not unlogging from this Reddit account

I use this Reddit account to mod r/hearhimfuck , watch my porn and answer NSFWAMA when I feel like it. I religiously log off completely after every time because I don't want my partner or anyone knowing about this account. It's the holidays and we are all busy so I had a quick session with myself and ran to get a shower and leave for another family Christmas dinner. My phone stayed in my purse the whole evening. By the end there's 6 of us left and we're sitting in the living room, having mellow conversation. Pets are discussed and photos shown. Someone asks about my dogs so I go fetch my phone and sit back on the couch. As soon as I unlock it, there's a full blown ANAL clip playing. Fortunately, the sound was off. I manage to turn the sound all the way down and shut the app without anyone seeing. TLDR; Iwas THIS close from having hardcore porn blasting surrounded by my parents, my partner, an aunt and a two cousins. I can't imagine the aftermath of what could...

TIFU by fucking my coworker

Happened a couple of days ago, but yeah, as the title says... Oops... We've worked together for about a year now; we've always been friendly, but I never really clocked her as a potential romantic option; she's my coworker, she had a boyfriend when we started working together, and to be honest I just thought she was completely out of my league: I'm a schlub and she is gorgeous So when she texts me asking if we want to hang out after work, I genuinely thought nothing untoward would happen; I thought we were just going to chill and watch cartoons; and for a while we were just having a nice platonic hangout. But we got very drunk, and eventually she was giving me the bedroom eyes and saying we should make out. I very emphatically said that was a bad idea, but she kissed me anyway, and at that point I really lost any semblance of self-restraint.. I am not proud of myself, at all. I can tell myself that she came onto me, but ultimately I also comepletly let it happen. No...

TIFU by shopping on Amazon

So I have an Amazon account, and a family. Anyhow, the person I'm seeing likes to do things with me... try new things if you know what I mean 😏 Recently I've ordered a few packages with adult toys, swing, etc. And... clone a willy. It came in yesterday while I was out. While I was out I got a notification that the cloning kit came in. I sent my son a text asking him to bring my Amazon package in. He said he had already. I didn't think much of it. Until last night when I went to go... use it. I asked my son where the package was on my way out the door. He asked "The plant stand or the cloning kit?". Mind you, the boxes DO NOT say what the contents are, nor were they opened. He must have realized what he said because my face is a goddam story book. I just stood there silent and shocked. He pointed towards the closet. This has been going on for ages, but he has NEVER indicated knowing what's in the packages. So now my teenage son knows his mom is a freak. ...
