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?
Feelin a little alone in house full of my wife’s family. I never quite fit in.
Funny how the lonely feelin does matter if you are truly alone or not.
Reverse could also be said, hope that us you friend.
Here’s something to listen to while you wait for George Bailey, traditional in my family growing up.

I am. Just me and my cat. Not even my usual Sunday night Zoom.
Bah humbug!!
I can relate!!
Odd that you would mention it. For the past 20+ years, listening to that has been the last thing I do Christmas night.
I listen to it once a year, only once, after I crawl into bed December 25.
God is with me.
Merry Christmas to you!
There always seems to be a few of us here keeping the watch so the rest of the crew can enjoy the holiday.
Thanks to the Robinsons and all the contributors, the lights will still be on and we’ll only be truly ‘alone’ if we so choose.
Merry Christmas, FRiends . . .
Sent the wife and kids to her parent’s. I stayed behind to care for my sick dog. That and I’m not too fond of the inlaws...bunch of liberals.
I want us all to have a wonderful Christmas, so I have some handy tips for a holiday filled with cheer.
So, invite your progressive liberal relatives over, and right at the height of the dinner, lay into them with the most profane, obscenity-laced tirade they have ever experienced.
Example #1: "Why you little Marxist ##### ## #### ### ### # a #### because #### ### ### door ### #### ## # #### and #### # ### with a donkey ### ##### ## ##### Mexica prison ### ##### ## # # ############# ### # # fatal dose of fentanyl."
Example 2: "You ugly, nasty, left wing ###### ## ##### ## # #### # car accident ### ###### # ## ###### ### ## # ###### abortion-lookalike ##### ##### ## ###### ##### # effortlessly #### ###### ##### spoon up your ##### # ## ##### # ## ########## ## # # ########## chimpanzee removes your intestines through your bunghole.
Example 3: God Himself hates you, you #### ## ######## ### # # ########## ### #### pepper-spray ######## ### ######### #### ######### three sanitary napkins over your ############ #### # ######## ### # ###### # ####### clock up your ########### ######## ### in Egypt.
It’s been awhile but after my divorce several years ago I spend Christmas alone. Didn’t even have a dog for company.
I prepared a nice dinner with a bottle of wine.
It was an improvement on my previous Christmas’s with my ex.
Now I have a much better wife and two wonderful dogs.
My mother even mailed me, what she called the perfect bachelor Christmas tree. It was made of plastic, about 18 inches tall, and even had a small string of lights, four or five I think. It came in abox. Just pull it out, set it on the table, and plug it in. After Christmas, back in the box for next year. Several long moves later, I’ve lost that tree.
Merry Christmas! Checking in. Today was a small say and tomorrow the bro and I will eat delicious appetizers in comfy clothes. Bro will watch football. I will read. A child will visit and we will try three handed left right center game.
Me and my shelter cat Andy whom I got last year right around this time. Giving thanks to God and Jesus for all of the blessings and forgiveness. Technically alone but not.
Are you sure? They come with video games!
avoided the liberal family tjis year. enjoying FR fam instead
You and all others will Never be alone.
Merry Christmas!
Not alone. We have Jesus, darlin’!
