I have been on my own for the past 9 Christmases, I still decorate the house, bring in my Christmas tree, cook Christmas lunch with all the trimmings, sit at the dining table only difference is i do not buy crackers as you need 2 people really to pull them! I wrap gifts for my pets and spend the day split between visiting my late partners grave, cooking lunch and watching the gerbils chew their way into their gifts! I look forward to January when i will have a human voice to talk to again!
