Merry Christmas! I hope everyone is having a good evening. This is, I think, the tenth edition of the annual thread dedicated to those among us who, for whatever reason, find ourselves solo on the night before Christmas.
Here in my cozy habitat, it's just me, my faithful hound and, a little later, Ralphie Parker and then George Bailey will make his yearly appearance.
The presents are wrapped and under the tree. After dinner, I'll imbibe a latte and then maybe a little vino.
Anyone else solo tonight?
Home tonight and tomorrow. Peaceful day tomorrow.
Your post made me smile. Christmas isn’t dependent on any sort of human relational status.
Merry Christmas.
Thank you, all, for your best wishes. As I said, the worst is over.
I was supposed to fly to Indonesia on Thursday. Those plans, perforce, have changed. So, I know what you are talking about.
You will be in my prayers as you go through this period.
Ah Jewish Christmas. Chinese food and a movie.
Me and my cat and my Christmas tree. Quiet. Relaxing. May be heading to midnight mass later. Felt great to take a nice long afternoon nap. looking forward to hearing from other fellow FREEPERS. Thanks Skooz for the yearly thread. :D
Love this!! Just Jesus and me and a home full of pets! oh and the yummy fire. Perfection.
I live in a house with three other members of my family. Each seem to be disposed to go into their own rooms, close the door, and usually pursue online gaming or something. Effectively, I’m by myself.

My family was abusive, angry and cruel. I was usually shunned, left out or kicked out once I arrived. The worse is the silence.
I’m glad you found FR. This is the first year since I was 5 years old that I haven’t dread Christmas. I was panicked to be left out, laughed at, pitied. Today I am alone but content. Your situation is sad. I hope you can find peace in a Christmas Carol or something.
“Amen. Let us eat.”

Chopped steak and soup for you, Mumble Gummer?

very gifted young people

No in the spirit of the season, I apologize, Mumble Gummer.
Merry Christmas!
Smile.
God bless you.
Love it!! I few years back I saw this great article about Jewish Christmases and Chinese food. It was actually super informative. ;D. Have a wonderful night. Hope your movie’s a great one!
You’re very welcome.
Merry Christmas!
Freepers are never alone.
I have never heard that version of the Messiah. Sounds sublime!
Like others on this thread, I have learned to embrace loneliness. I tend not to argue to much with myself. ;-D
Are you turned out because you are conservative, and they are not? Do not feel compelled to answer, I just want to know why I feel like choking people I've never met. ;-D
Why should tonight be any different than every other night of the year.
Before I stopped drinking 33 years ago, I didn’t know if I had the capacity to love. (All I felt were drunk or angry)
Often, I need to remind myself that when my heart is breaking as I watch a loved one die, that I do have the capacity to love. I can’t be heartbroken unless I have loved first.
My mom was with me when I took my first breath, and I was able to hold her as she took her last breath.
