you can always log on here, i too will be alone at chrismas and would love a chat, even though i will be alone i still put my energy into 'doing the full works' for dinner, this passes a few hours and gives the brain something to concentrate on, i also get myself a couple of films to watch and go for a 'walk' if the weather permits. I usually end up snuggled in bed early with a glass or two of wine watching a film with some snacky treats, i try to think not of 'i am alone' but of 'yes a day for me to treat me' Christmas is a holiday, so make it a day for you, preperation is essential so you don't wake up wondering what you are going to do, have your day planned out, plan things which make you happy or that you can get engrossed in, failing that hit the web there will be others feeling as you do in need of a chat.
