I spend most non-Jewish holidays alone. I'm not sad. It's just a fact of my life. I have no family. I was just wondering if anyone else was alone for the holiday, how they were feeling, and how they were planning to spend it.

I plan to never get out of my fluffy pink bathrobe and bunny slippers, watch the Westminster Dog Show, eat a ready made kosher Thanksgiving dinner, and watch whatever kid friendly movie happens to be playing Thanksgiving night.

I might write a letter to my psychiatrist to give him at our next appointment if something occurs to me to write about. We have a treatment relationship very writing centered.

I know many people feel sad when they have to spend a holiday built around large family gatherings alone. I can empathize with how people feel. I just have a different life experience of holidays. I guess it makes me immune to being sad about it. I can still care, however.
