Just the better half and I here tonight, and tomorrow as well.
Merry Christmas and best wishes to you, skooz, for a wonderful 2012.
As long as you are a FReeper, you’re never alone.
Yes, Skooz. I’m alone tonight, and tomorrow as well.
I am at the VA Center in Ohio, where I’ve been for the last year, trying to rebuild my life after my divorce. next month, I shall move to Florida to live with my sister, and start a new life.
But for now, I am eating Domino’s pizza and lurking about FR sending my best wishes for everybody else’s fellowship.
Please, enjoy your Christmas with you and yours.
I’m sitting in my office, sipping tea and studying for an IT certification exam.
Our family Christmas will be next week end. Just the hubby and I and we are working on some home improvements. Taking a coffee break right now, always have to run through the headlines...
Yes. I have two dogs, a Golden Retiever named Cookie, an English Springer Spaniel named Mickey, plus 8 cats. So, I’m not really alone. Later I will visit my father who is in a nursing home.
I don’t mind being alone, not at all. This is something I chose.
As long as JR can keep the server going - FReepers are never alone.
Just spent Christmas Eve with all my adult children, their spouses and the grandchildren - went to Evening service at Church after a great family meal and unwrapping presents.
They will spend Christmas Day with their other families. We rotate because of distance and traffic.
God Bless and Merry Christmas.
Hello FRiends.
I’m glad I logged on so I can wish you both the best.
God Bless everyone on FR tonight.
please post your local, then go to a church/etc soup kitchen, and volunteer. Next year have your dogs qualified to be comfort dogs so they can spend x-mas eve/morn in hospitals/nursing homes. Start early, by May it will be an obsession for you and the kids(pets).
Start a journal and blog it with links here.
Does wishing one was spending Christmas Eve alone count as a yes vote? If so, put me down for yes.
Alone tonight but will be with daughter and husband at their house for Christmas.
yep
Me and the dogs here tonight but I’m going to my sister’s for dinner tomorrow.
Yes
Not alone, not with a wife and four kids who just got back from Christmas Eve at my in-laws
But Merry Christmas to you and the other solo Freepers.
BTW for Christmas movies to watch, I suggest the 1951 version of “A Christmas Carol”, or the 1984 version with George C. Scott.
Hallmark Channel, ABC Family, and Lifetime always have cheesy made for TV Christmas movies, some of which are actually pretty good.
And if you want to be young at heart and move fast, “Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town” followed by “The Year Without a Santa Claus” are on ABC Family. My kids are watching them before bed, I have them memorized already. :)
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!
I am alone tonight.
My husband has Parkinson’s, had a crisis, spent the last week in the hospital to get over it, and is now in the TCU (transitional care unit) for rebailitation.
So, after 45 years of marriage, we are each spending our first Christmas eve apart from one another, and we both are lonely and sad. We are smart enough to know that our paths will soon be diverging, and we wish we could turn back the clock of time.
Eyes are getting a bit blurry at the moment, but I refuse to feel sorry for myself, because I know there are so many people out there who are also alone on Christmas eve, who feel much lonelier.
I am going to pray for them. I wish I could win Publisher’s Clearing House sweepstakes to make other people’s lives easier, with less worry about not being able to buy toys for their children, a present for their spouse, and get their bills paid up for the year.
The only concept I can put forward for us “aloners” is that God has promised us that we never are alone, that He is always there, and knows of our fear and pain.
I cling to that hope, and try my best to feel His presence when I am the most lonely. Sometimes, I can feel it, sometimes I can’t - but I keep on trying.
I am.
I am also about ‘footballed’ out, having watched games all afternoon. Not much else on TV, except reruns and Christmas programs — mostly for children.
I will pull up a movie on Netflix a bit later.
