Yeah....I know what you mean As a friend has told me so many times...."It's amazing in a world over a billion people, we can still be lonely"...so very true.
I went to the first Yankees game after the attacks of 9/11...what a city. It was overwhelming but incredible.
I understand how other people seem pretty busy at this time of year especially....mayeb a once a week scheduled get together is something they would look forward to too!!(Like the card night) Doesnt hurt to try right?
Or a casual holiday get together before Christmas? with friends....talk...wrap presents....listen to music....watch a movie....have easy munchies.... I dunno...something will work out here.
I still like the weekly card game thing. Im thinking with all the stress of the Holidays your friends would also welcome a night of fun and friends, no?
