Is Anyone Else Alone on Christmas Eve?
From Skooz's Comfy Home | 12/24/2019 | Skooz

Posted on 12/24/2019 3:19:39 PM PST by Skooz

So, this has become an annual thread. Each year I hope to find that special someone and each year, around this time, I realize that I may have to wait another year.

But, I can't complain. Life is good. I made a sweet potato pie from scratch and will share it with the family tomorrow at our Christmas dinner. I'm 59 years-old and have been blessed to have spent every Christmas with my parents? How many people can say that?

But, tonight it's just me, George Bailey on Bluray, some beautiful sacred Christmas music on SiriusXM Holiday Pops and a nice bottle of red wine.

How about you? Anyone else solo this Christmas Eve?

Just got home after going to a Church service with the wife. I thought I’d check FR before getting ready for bed and I find this gem of a thread.

God bless all of you, wherever you are. I hope and pray you all have a joyful and peaceful holiday.

No need to post, just do it

It's done.

Sorry, I had to post. The love I received through FR tonight made me do it.

I saw the movie once, but I already knew all of the songs because we had the album. Some of them are still in my head after close to 50 years.

Yes, I believe 99% of us are better off...this guy was unique, though. He was born with the Right attitude.

Homeless, homosexual shoplifter? At least he was honest about it and made me laugh.

Merry Christmas to you.

Other things...from a man who I admired for his Right, Conservative thinking...have left me bereft with sadness tonight.

I’ve had 6 surgeries this year, the last one was shoulder surgery 2 weeks ago, before that, hip replacement 2 months ago. I can’t do anything like cutting/stacking wood or even carrying wood today but I’m looking forward to 2020!

I can raise a double shot glass which I’m about to do again!

Wow, that’s terrible, you can tell a lot about a person on how they treat animals, in my opinion. I love dogs pretty much more than anything. Merry Christmas and keep looking, it will happen when you least expect it.

Yes ...I'm solo this Christmas Eve and enjoying cooking and baking .....went out earlier to watch the last minute shoppers and found many had their Christmas shopping finished they were just out and about like me! Few seemed in a hurry in my area...Oddly enough people just didn't seem tense as in other years but far more relaxed and content.

Will be watching the “Nativity” movie tonight and already viewed “The Family man”, and others while cooking. Candles lit and the smell of Christmas waffling throughout my apartment. I too am content this night.....

Not this year, but have been alone other years, I found that the best way to cope is to pray for others who are alone. There are so many people alone on Christmas. Somehow praying for others alone lifts your spirits. Like majic. :) God speed and God bless.

I too am alone and feeling it. I lit my advent wreath, watched my room sparkle and feel better (Found peace with God)

Now I’m watching Yule Log theater.

Good! I hope you can make the trip!

It’s supposed to warm up a bit Badger, but Peach Springs is on the plateau, and it gets much chillier up there this time of the year. If you can happen to catch a day when the wind is not blowing up there it is not quite as bad. lol

There is a 15 degree colder temp chill line and front line that comes across from northern Nevada through southern Utah that comes right through there on it’s way to Flagstaff. Damned beautiful country once you get used to it though, and the summers are NICE up there. :)

But Kingman is a bit warmer in the winter...

Everyone hates me and I live in a ditch out back of the chicken place.

You have a ditch. So lucky.
