I will also be spending both holidays alone, but it is partly by choice. I don't like these holidays and over time have been able to just get out of things that have to do with them. It does feel lonely at times, knowing that people are gathering and having a good time, but I have found other times when I celebrate. And also I usually treat myself to something during the holidays so I don't feel ripped off. So for Thanksgiving I'm treating myself to crab which is my favorite and in season now.
