Anyone Else Alone on Christmas Eve?
From Skooz's Comfy Home | 12/24/2018 | Skooz

Posted on 12/24/2018 3:38:23 PM PST by Skooz

Well, this seems to have become an annual event. Alone on Christmas Eve, reaching out to my fellow FReepers.

Myself, I have my daughter's hermit crab for company. And some great classical Christmas music. And, a little later, George Bailey and friends via BluRay.

Anyone else spending this evening solo?

Yes, my husband and I are home alone for the first time in 31 years. Father-in-law passed 5 years ago; my mama passed July 31. We live 500+ miles away from our families, and our three children and grandson are with respective in-laws tonight and tomorrow. MERRY CHRISTMAS! Christ IS the Reason for the Season.

“Alone on Christmas Eve, reaching out to my fellow FReepers.”

It’s those who don’t have Freeper-minded people online or real life to spend some time with on Christmas Eve that I feel for!
And I’d take a hermit crab over some people any day of the year.

Speaking of George Bailey - you’ve seen the “lost ending” of the movie?
:D

Take care and be of good cheer - all may not be right in the world, but God is still in His heaven.

Yep! 4th year in a row for me! No biggie, I have many books on biblical studies scattered over my bed, and I’ll be diving in here in a few minutes. Find something you love and go all in! God Bless and Merry Christmas!!

I’ve had a bad cold for four days, so it’s just as well. I’ve got all the presents wrapped, and I’m recovered enough so I can show up tomorrow and not appall everyone.

I’m listening to jazz and classical records, and working on some of the giant Christmas crossword puzzles. The Times of London is behind a paywall, but the Guardian Christmas prize puzzle is open to all:

https://www.theguardian.com/crosswords/prize/27699

I still have two answers in that one that I can’t quite figure out, but I successfully found the 26 alphabet answers.

Merry Christmas to you. It seems to be common for me to be alone for this date but I got music, guitars, and my two standard poodles for company. I cooked Italian beef for dinner that I slow cooked for 12 hours and going to top it off with a margarita later. Its a beautiful night here with a full moon and a mid 40 temperature.

Here’s to your health. Get better soon.

I have 4 presents left to wrap. I’ll get to those after supper. And before George Bailey.

“They think hes handsome. He is 26.”

We were all handsome when we were 26. Well, except the ladies - they were all babes at 26.
:D

Mrs. Alaska, the dawg and Christmas music. Daughter was here over the week end, son and family this weekend.

It's OK, I don't mind peace and quiet.

Good time to reflect, pray and wait for the Birth.

Merry Christmas to all FReepers and lurkers.

PEACE ON EARTH AND GOOD WILL TOWARD ALL.

All I ever wanted most is a wife to cherish and love and serve, and children, in a home devoted to God.

With each passing Christmas that seems to never be meant for me.

Maybe some of us are just too broken for God to hear. Maybe for some of us our lives are mistakes.

Wife left me 6 months ago. After 40 years together.
Lost my best friend on Dec 19 after his long battle with cancer.
Not a good Christmas but I am working to ensure that next year’s will be better. I’m going to build a nice flag case for my friend’s veteran casket flag. I will laser etch the US Army logo and facts about his service on the glass case cover.

Christmas Eve pizza is our family tradition. Mine must have had some tryptophan in it.

Some of my favorite Christmas times were after my divorce and just me and the pups! Alone and out in the quiet country.

This year it’s now me with the new fiancé AND still the pups! Great time!

Soup. Grilled cheese. And chasing tennis balls down the hallway!

Unless the dog counts, I’m alone as well (and will be tomorrow, too). My children live out of state and we usually exchange gifts via mail and open them using Skype - but one of ‘em’s sick, so I’m not even sure that’s going to happen.

It is better to be alone than in bad company

With a bible, you are never alone

Your best friend should always be yourself

Many of the greatest times in life are when alone

A cat and or dog make incredible companions

Yours is the only opinion with which you will have to agree!!!
