what about checking out the free Christmas dinner and events in your area. here we have many restaurants and agencies that put together meals and events for those that are all by their selves on Christmas eve / Christmas Day. the purpose of these events is so that no one needs to go hungry or be alone. they can go somewhere, enjoy the festivities and a great meal and make new friends / socialize / build their own support network.
some reasons why people around attend these events....
they are alone because family issues
they are alone/ lonely because their family is in another state or country.
plans changed where family could not do the planned family get together.
just to get out to be with other people
build a new circle of friends and family
my point there are many reasons why someone goes to their community free Christmas dinner and events.
cant promise hugs but theres lots of good conversation and fun to be had if you are open to it.
maybe since you wont be with your biological family, maybe you can be with a family of your choosing.
