A woman has been left mortified after buying a festive family Christmas decoration without realising how rude it looks.
She picked up the seemingly innocent ornament in budget shop B&M recently - but got more than she bargained for.
The wooded sign, which spells out the word FAMILY, is adorned with festive details, including reindeer ears and a Christmas tree.

But on closer inspection, the letters A, I and Y are replaced with other features to create an optical illusion - making the sign appear to spell a rather inappropriate phrase, Mirror UK reports.
Taking to TikTok to share the festive fail, Nic, who posts under the username @nic.ep79, wrote: "Buying what I thought was a nice FAMILY Christmas ornament.
"Then realising it looks like it says 'F**k my life," she added with a face palm emoji.
The missing letters on the ornament make it look as though the it spells out 'FML' which is an abbreviation of 'f*** my life'.
Thankfully, Nic saw the funny side of the whole ordeal, as people flocked to the comments section on her video to share how baffled they were by the decoration.
One person wrote: "OMG, I bought that and I can't unsee it now".
While another joked: "For the way this year went, I would get a FML ornament".
A third person said "help my mom [sic] has that" while others were puzzled as they couldn't see the 'FML' lettering on the sign.
This isn't the first time that B&M's cheeky festive decoration has caught the attention of shoppers, as the sign originally went viral on Facebook earlier this month when another customer noticed the hilarious mishap.
A woman named Vickie shared a snap of the product to the Family Lockdown Tips & Ideas Facebook page - which boasts more than 1.2 million members. Many people have shared their thoughts on the festive blunder, as the picture raked in thousands of reactions.
Captioning the post, she wrote: "Don't think B&M thought this out properly."
Many people were in stitches over the image, as one wrote: "I'm definitely getting one ladies, I won't lie - I think it's my most typed phrase in WhatsApp."
A second teased: "To me, 'Family' and 'FML' are one and the same."
The Mirror UK has reached out to B&M for comment.
