Merry Christmas, fellow Freepers! Once again, it is Christmas Eve and once again, many of us find ourselves, for various reasons, alone. Many of us have circumstances that have led to a solo Christmas Eve. Mine: My marriage fell apart in 2009. Part of my agreement with my ex-wife is that she has our daughter Christmas Eve and Christmas morning and she is with me the rest of Christmas day. Not a perfect solution, but I would rather say “hello†than “goodbye†to my little girl on Christmas. That, alas, means that on the Eve of our most family-oriented of holidays I find myself here. By myself. No big deal. I’m used to it and have found I don’t mind at all. Anyone else out there flying solo this evening?
Me n mah dogs.
Its good.
We just had roast beast.
You’re never alone. Merry Christmas:)
Nice.
I just grilled the largest sirloin steak I’ve ever seen. Marinated all day while I wrapped gifts. It was superb.
A man is never alone with his beast, err...doggie by his side!
I am, and under seriously challenging circumstances.
You got your FR friends, and Jesus. With Him, you are never alone.
Christmas is a time to really focus on Christ. He left his throne and came to save us after all! And on top of that, He promised us Eternity if we just believed in Him and accepted His sacrifice!
I’m married w/2 kids, but sometimes it feels “alone”—married folks will understand that.
All of you who are alone on Christmas, my prayers are with you! Life isn’t easy, but you can rest on Christ’s Promises. Families & Friends will let you down, but He never will.
God Bless You All this Christmas!
Sounds cray but I wish I was.
Watching Dr Who Christmas special reruns tonight and the new one will run tomorrow night.
They do a pretty good job with their Christmas specials. They’re usually secular-ish but not really.
not alone. I’m here with my better half but I’m not with my family in New Jersey and because this head injury prevents me from doing certain things on certain days. I felt a little down about it but happy to see fellow freepers on this site chilling out. gives me a chance to get to my comment about our head injured warriors. We need to think of them and do so much more for them especially at this time of year. mine is nothing compared to most of theirs. Merry Christmas to all of them and to you guys.
what’s up? Post concerned me a little and I hope you are okay
I’m sorry. I hope everything works out.
Hang in there....check out some Trump tweets tonight. The guy is all over Jeb. Makes you laugh:)
Yep.. just me and The Beatles ... eating my Christmas Eve dinner smoked pork tenderloin, baked potato and green beans.
Have two friends who were. One other in a bad place with his family.
I’m blessed with a great family. Took time out from them to be with the one guy (got him to laugh - WIN!), hanging out with the other tomorrow so he is not alone, and stayed in touch with the third by phone.
Christmas is tough for a lot of people.
If you are alone, find friends who will be there for you. If you are not alone, be sensitive to those in your life who might be. And pray for them as well as yourself.
Make it a Merry Christmas in fact as opposed to just name!
PS Prayers sent your way, Skooz, whether or not you believe in such.
Just mrs p6 and me tonight. But most years I worked at a radio station alone. Enjoyed the quiet time! In fact this is the first time for yea?rs I’ve been home. Probably going to bed soon and get some sleep. Mrs p6 is watching SyFy channel disaster movies...
Merry Christmas!
I don’t have to be alone, but I’ll piss off somebody no matter where I don’t go. I’ve been happily divorced over 25 years, so no wife. My youngest daughter, son in law and 2 grandkids live with me, but are going over to his kin for dinner, festivities.
This is one of the downsides to being single.
Alone (again).
I’ll survive (again).
