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?
My wife and I stopped observing Christmas over 20 years ago and instead observe the biblical holy days. So it feels like another day to me...I keep forgetting what day it is!
I feel for ya,my old boy is getting up there and it annoys the hell out of me.
Merry Christmas crosdaddy
I take are of my 93 year old Aunt and had Christmas Eve dinner with my brother and things are great. Merry Christmas everyone.
yes, I am alone. Sadly my family is solo anger here.
Merry Christmas!!!
Thank you for your kind words. It means a lot. I’m looking forward to seeing the grand kids tomorrow. Everyone is so busy nowadays. All in all there will be eight grand kids from the extended family there. Two can’t make it. We’ll have a great time.
Can I bring my blog?
How Dare You!:)
Have you thought of going to a candlelight Christmas Eve service tonight? Even if you are not religious or of any Christian sect, it is full of warmth, good music, a wonderful Biblical lesson, and friendly people.
Merry Christmas.

“....I’ve got a lot of problems with you people. ..”
Then I give silent prayers for those who have no shoes.
Merry Christmas All.
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
It isn't about the night before, it's about the glory thereafter. Bless you and eagles up!
Pictures! Pictures!!!
Merry Christmas from Texas.
My sixth without my only child, who passed at sixteen from a rare heart defect. Your strength shows in your recognition of being GRACED....He graced mine as well. God Bless, my friend.
I thought about it. My church has Christmas Eve service from time time. Not so much in recent years.
I don’t mind being alone. After the divorce it took a few years to adjust. The first couple of Christmas Eves after that were tough.
But, I came to accept it and now quite enjoy it. I have my little routine and will be with my family (parents, sister, in laws, nieces, nephew, and my two daughters) on Christmas day. So, this is kind of like the calm before he chaos.
You’re not alone. You have me.
Merry Christmas.
Thank you Heshtesh, I could be at my Mfg plant too; except I got called in at 2:00am Fri morning for a 10 inch water main break running through the center of my facility. Took a couple of hours to shut off, had to clean up as best as I could, then get ready for a 10:00am conference call with 3 lawyers. So, after ending a week like that, I’m really glad to have a couple of days off work. Just wish my pup was still with me.
I loved that movie since I was a kid.
I think I know every song by heart.
Merry Christmas.
This will be the 2nd Christmas without my Jim. Our daughter lives here, but she goes to bed at 7, so it is a quiet evening. Two cats, tho for comfort.
And I have FRee Republic! Thank you, JimRob!
God bless you my friend.
You will not be alone tomorrow.
God will be with you. I will be with you.
