Well, another year, another Christmas Eve. I’ll be home alone with my faithful greyhound, sipping vino and watching George Bailey learn how wonderful life is, which has been my tradition for about 15 years now. Anyone else going it solo tonight?
Emery Christmas, my FRiend.
That’ll be me after Christmas Eve Church Service.
You’re never alone on FR. Merry Christmas!
Oh yeah. Same as the last 7 years.
FR is where I land.
I am in the same boat as you, although my son gets off from work later. I will be in bed by then.
I wish you and the greyhound the best. If I could ship several teenaged boys to you, I would!
I quit observing Christmas 23 years ago. Best thing I ever did. Instead i observe the holy days of the bible as a Christian. Christmas to me is now essentially an empty fraud.
Worse. Liberal family.
Got here at 1. Wanted to leave at 1:01
Same.
Always have FR!
Yeah. Even my cat hasn’t come home.
“Alone again, naturally.”
I’m okay with it. I ‘socially interact’ at my part time job.
Oh, I got it. You aren’t really alone. There are people, but you are still alone.
Condolences.
The dog is really special though. A few years ago we spent over a year driving across America together. Apart from a few hours outside of Saint Louis she rode in my lap the entire way. I've got a photo of the two of us at the resting place of Ronald and Nancy Reagan. Just one of many places we visited together.
I'm in something of an in-between job at a supermarket right now. Earlier today a woman came in wearing a blue shirt that had TRUMP in giant red letters. I told her I wasn't supposed to tell her this but "I love your shirt!" That seemed to make her day :-)
Lifting up in prayer all my fellow lonely souls this Christmas Eve.
There are 2 cats so yes ,LOL
Just me, “She Who Must Be Obeyed”, and several bourbons
No complaints there. After 46 years and the proper amount of bourbon I appear to be sufficiently domesticated
Yup.
Wife’s out of town visiting a friend who’s husband just passed. So alone tonight. Once yiu get older it’s not fun much anymore.
Murray Crimmas, Skooz!
It was like a tag team wrestling match.
Only my team is 2. Theirs is 15.
Why we don’t say “sorry we got plans” I don’t know.
It’s the wife’s side. My side doesn’t talk politics and they know I’ll up and leave if I have had enough
