Last week I posted a opinion piece about “Single and Alone for the Holidays” (No I’m not going to post a link! That article has run it’s course.)

You would be surprised at the number of responses I received via “Freep Mail” (There were millions!…well dozens.) Anywho, the thought occurred and was suggested by “Texana RED” (thanks for giving me permission to use your name) that next year we should have a Freeper Christmas Party for those of us who are single adults.

The original thread (No, I’m still not going to post a link.) was about how non-responsive churches are to the needs of single adults, especially during the “Holidays.”

What do you think? …About the idea of a Freeper Christmas party, I mean.

Think about what you did this last week… do you want to go through the same next year? Tell us! Maybe we all can make it happen!(The party...not the link to the other thread...which I still refuse to post!)

What are your plans for this New Years?

Although I'm very happily married, our family ditched the extended family this year to spend 3 days in a resort. Who did we have Christmas Dinner with, you might ask??? TWO FREEPERS who live in the area. All arranged ahead of time and off line. We had a BLAST!

I highly reccommend holidays with FREEPERS! I'll do it again next year if I can get away with it!

Happy New Year to all Freepers!

I'm spending New Year's Eve with my 83 year old father at the assisted living home he lives in. I'll bring his dog over too. He's wheelchair bound and completely disabled. I'm getting whiskey and vermouth to fix him his Manhattans and I guess I'll buy a bottle of Chablis for me and we'll watch the New Year's Eve celebrations on TV.

Hmmmm? Fundamentalists and Irish Catholics - now there's a great mixture.

As for me - I may have been single for a few years, but my grandchildren keep me busy. I usually spend time with them. I realize some of you are too young for grandchildren, but there are plenty of volunteer places you can go - no matter where you live - and when you are busy giving to others, it doesn't seem to be so lonely.

My idea of a Christmas party is what my church does - everyone is included in the gathering. We have sign-up sheets, and people can bring whatever they want. Some of the best stuff is brought by MEN. We are one happy family - not groups.

Sounds like a good idea but if you think I'm gonna put a lampshade on my head and dance around in your underwear like last year,you're sadly mistaken.

OK...we can forget about the lampshade ;-)

how non-responsive churches are to the needs of single adults, especially during the “Holidays.”

I might add, how non-responsive all of society is to single adults, at any time. Especially single mothers.

It seems according my post #18 that I can't post the link...(Back to HTML Bootcamp!). The good news is:
Thanks to the efforts of "Sunny Usa" (post #16) there is a link... Thanks Sunny Usa for posting that link and keeping my "Ruthless" image intact! :)

I'm spending New Years eve making sure my customers computers work through year-end accounting. So, I'll be spending a lot of time posting at FR. I have a new bottle of Glenfiddich I got for Christmas though, so I'm toasting the new year in anyway. I just have to wait til 1AM instead of midnight.

New Years - Easy - I'll be going to the local Sports Bar to watch my Spartans take on Fresno State in the Silicon Valley Bowl.

I just hope there isn't 4 guys there for every lady like last year. :(

If there is a Freeper New Years party, I may be in next year, but I'll be going to family events for Christmas. It's a tradition that's been around long before I was even born.

You'd have atheists, Protestants, Catholics and Jews. My bet is that after about 30 minutes there would be a WWF style free-for-all. LOL

Beer cures all.

Now the possibilities of this concept are outright scary... more possible victims for our sad friend?
