Anyone else spending Christmas Eve alone? (vanity)

Merry Christmas everyone! My sincere hope is that all of you, each and every one, will have a joyous Christmas and a wonderful New Year.

Just wondering if any others out there are spending this sacred night solo.

Besides my trusty Boxer, Django the Wonderdog, and a new edition to the household, a gorgeous long-haired black cat I have dubbed Jackson, I have the house to myself all evening and night.

Tomorrow, it will be family wall-to-wall at mom's house, complete with gifts and an excellent multi-calorie dinner. But, tonight, I'll enjoy a quiet supper and a nice cappuccino, watching "The Muppet Christmas Carol," and maybe "A Christmas Story." Probably turn in early.

Anyone else in Freeperland alone tonight? Just curious.

I went to Youtube looking for “I Remember Mama”, one of my all-time favorite Christmas movies. No luck, but I stumbled upon “The Reckoning”, which was more than okay.

A Very Merry Christmas to you, OldSarge! And may 2012 be your best year yet!

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Skooz - what abb said - Merry Christmas from Mama Viking's lodge in the Maryland mountains. If you're in our throughts, you're never alone.

Old Sarge - what part of Florida? I still send Christmas cards whether people respond in kind or not.....LOL

rabscuttle385 - As someone with a wall of them, what cert are you going for? Aw, never mind. Put it away and embrace the evening.

jacquej - just left you and your husband a belated prayer at our candlelight services from this evening. God heard them, even now.

Mariner - if the Jameson's ain't legal, I'm commiting a felony with this Jack Daniel's in my glass. LOL

Vision - I am hip to that - Merry Christmas to you from a couple hours up the road.

To everyone: Too many of you in this thread to send an individual response, as much as I'd like to, so allow me to issue an all-encompassing, Freeper-wide Merry Christmas and God bless everyone!

Belle, I was very pleased to read your story! Back in the summer of ‘64 my ship, the destroyer USS Bigelow, was visiting Stockholm, and some of the local gals castigated me because of our efforts fighting the communists in VietNam. Since then I have had a had a negative impression of the so-called Swedish “neutralists” and am glad that there are now other attitudes prevalent there now! Thank you...

JC

Oh, there’s nothing like grilled lamb kabobs ... especially with tzatziki sauce! My mouth is watering, I’ll have to make some during the week.

BTW for Christmas movies to watch, I suggest the 1951 version of “A Christmas Carol”, or the 1984 version with George C. Scott.

As far as I am concerned the only version worth watching is the 1951 with Alastair Sim as scrooge and also, if you can find it, the one with Mr. Magoo is passable. I don't like any of the others but will watch them if that is all that is available. Daughter and grandkids are here, but without a woman by my side, I feel alone, altho FR helps a lot.

Hey, Viking! I’ll be moving to Tampa/St. Pete, not sure of an address yet.

Merry Christmas to you and the Missus!

Sometimes it just feels 'alone', but someone is thinking of you.

 

Wishing a Blessed and Merry Christmas To EVERYONE here.

Vike lives pretty near to me.

Think I’ll just show up on his doorstep tomorrow.

Ha, I just noticed your tagline. I’m six and a half feet, 260. For you, that tagline is a joke. For some of us, that tagline is reality...
