Anyone else spending Christmas Eve alone?
Christmas Eve 2010 | Skooz

Posted on 12/24/2010 5:31:05 PM PST by Skooz

Just wondering if anyone else out there is spending the evening alone. Not necessarily a bad thing. I'm sipping a cappuccino and taking in "A Christmas Story" in the old man cave. I'll be with family tomorrow, but as of tonight, it's my faithful Boxer and me. And Ralphie.

I wish I was alone. I am with family on my wifes orders. I’ve had the stomach flu for a few days..... So I am trying to keep my distance.

There is a bright side. At least you ARE working. Millions aren’t.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Alone and prepping the cornbread for the traditional cornbread dressing tomorrow, watching the 1970 film Scrooge, a favorite. My family used to have enormous Christmas eve open houses with 100-plus guests when I was a kid so I never try to equal those!

Sitting here drinking red wine from Argentina, with an orange kitten at my back, another on the floor, and about eight more at the door.
I have spent a number of Christmas eves and days alone, but now that I am in the Philippines, I have not had one night alone in two years ;)

Merry Christmas to you and all the FR’s.

Alone. But I have my little rituals. I just finished my pasta and anchovies in a garlic and olice oil base. Now it's time for my Christmas Eve music.

Tchaikovsky: The Nutcracker (complete ballet, not the suite)
Rossini: Christmas Chant (a piano piece where he imitates the sound of shepherds' bagpipes)
Charpentier: Midnight Mass (a period instrument recording that places the piece firmly in the late Renaissance)

Being alone is not a bad thing.
