Is Anyone Else Spending Christmas Eve Alone?
Skooz’s place | December 24, 2023 | Skooz

Posted on 12/24/2023 3:10:51 PM PST by Skooz

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?

Church service and then just the wife, pets. We have three kids, all 2,000 miles away beginning their professional lives. No grandchildren yet. Just pets there too. We visited everyone last month before Holiday craziness and airfares.

Have a nice and peaceful Christmas.

You are still a kid. Hah 49 is not old and I will pray you find a family. Sounds like you have a good critter family though.

Merry Christmas!

Be not afraid, for I bring you good news of great joy. For unto you this night is born in Bethlehem, the city of David, a savior, who is Christ the Lord…

You are never alone.
Merry Christmas and peace to you.

Did you see Lazamataz’s post this morning on holiday table conversation guide? Best post in years.

Well ignore them and hang out with FReepers while they rattle on about the wonders of Joe Biden.

It is very hard to sit and listen to stupidity.

Solo tonight, with family out of town tomorrow. Kinda somber, but OK to just reflect on Jesus Christ and His message. Most of the family is secular, so just as well.

Me and the cats! But I’ve been through a lot of Christmases now, and I’m not much into holidays anyway, so it’s really just... Sunday.

None of my kids live here and nobody is coming home this year.
Same as last year but this year is better because I am not sick.

Guess there is always a good thing.

Merry Christmas!
