I'm just giving a heads-up that I'll be creating one of those little "party" threads for everyone to gather round and have a little online company on Christmas day.

It'll be here in General Social Chat, and I'm just announcing it ahead of time to try and get more people in one place and make it easier to find. I'll start the thread sometime Christmas Eve (you know, because time zones) and aim to be around myself that evening, and as much as possible the following day. So we're looking at roughly 6 PM to midnight on the 24th, and 9 AM to 9 PM on Christmas Day (Eastern Standard Times). Hopefully, enough other people will join in that my exact times won't matter.

The holidays can be awfully difficult or lonely for many people. I've gotten okay over the years with just treating holidays like any other day, so I'll be around here. I certainly would like to spend the day trying to provide some company, and hopefully help other people feel a little better. I know others do too. These threads usually do well with the many wonderful people here. I'll try to scrape up some light entertainment links, although in my experience some other people here are better at that. I hope to see as many of you as can find the time to drop by that day.

I agree. It is hard for a lot of people around Christmas. For years, I felt so alone on that holiday. Thanks.
Thanks for this!

That's never stopped anyone else.

I remember Sid Meier (the creator of the original Civilization game series), saying that one of the most surreal days of his life was doing several dozen interviews of Elvis impersonators for the in-game video advisor clips.

Yes, those people seem to think they actually are Elvis.

But they can't be. I am

Then, I can definitively say, "they're all shook up" on who the real Elvis is.

Yeah for years I’ve been pretending like I have a family at Christmas - it’s sort of phony because I don’t really feel a connection and a lot of people have past away or are old.....it’s scary stuff and makes you feel like you’re never going to feel like celebrating ever again....I combat this somewhat with music - it’s the ointment that’s keeps my going - Peace ✌️
