Just wondering as I've seen a few people are alone this Christmas.....

So are you alone this Christmas?

[greyclouds]

No I'm not and I'm cooking Christmas dinner.

I'll have my parents, sister and nan. And my 2 kids.

Part of me wishing I never signed up for it this year.

My partner went to see her family and kids in another City. I'm home with our 5 cats. It is not not holiday do to religious reasons but I still find it depressing being alone.

I'm always on my own, although I may drop in on a relative.
It is okay with me to be alone on holidays. I rather like it.

i live with my parents, but they kind of pay no attention to me and so i'll probably stay in my room for the majority of it all.

so yeah.... i guess i'll be alone, but i'll also have you guys to talk to if i need it

[Onward2wards]

Very much so, but I'll be on PC.

Are you kidding - you are taking care of all of us and I for one appreciate it.

Im not alone but not with my family. Happy holidays everyone.

I will be alone again this year. Christmas has mostly always been a confusing time for me. It is an extraordinarily special day that I am not a part of. I know it can be / and is stressful for a lot of people...but I cant help but feel separate and alone. We were absolutely not allowed to decorate and have a tree like all the other families because it signified something very sacred to a lot of people that we do not believe in. I do so love winter, though, with the cold weather, twinkly little white lights, the beautiful aromas of cinnamon, ginger, pine, snow. Our father was / is pretty traditional so the answer to the tree was a firm no. Even though our mother thought we should have one so we didnt feel "left out". As an adult, I cant seem to bring myself to purchase even a little tree because it feels wrong somehow. I was born and raised with non-Christian beliefs so it feels wrong to me to take just the parts I love and assign meaning to them that is not in tbe true spirit of the holiday. I have too much respect. And I just dont believe in the main reason for the holiday (sorry) so I feel as though I would not be real. Very confusing, mixed messages. It can be very hard sometimes. Feeling isolated like this.

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!
