Anyone else spending Christmas Eve alone?
The bizarro world of brother skooz | 12/24/2014 | Skooz

Posted on 12/24/2014 5:33:35 PM PST by Skooz

Hello all. Sitting here at home and wondering if anyone else out there is spending this evening alone.

On this night of all nights when families gather and friends share gifts and time, some of us are, for various reasons, spending Christmas Eve solo.

Not necessarily a bad thing - alone doesn't always mean lonely. But, it does mean alone.

Check in if that includes any of you, my fellow Freepers.

Dude, you’re posting on FR. How could you possibly be alone?

Merry Christmas!

Wow! I’d stop cooking and just step out for awhile and see what happens after you return...let them stew.

“never been forced to grow up and face his shortcomings, his over whelming self centeredness, His sickening displays toward his mother and telling the world how everything works “

That’s how drunks are.

The ONLY solution is to have nothing to do with him. ;He won’t change unless he gets sober and works the steps. Most can stop drinking for a short time, but never change. Very few do what is necessary.

I thank you ‘are’ a musician. It’s in your soul. You’ll get back to it someday.

So sorry for the loss of your dad, and the disappointing behavior of your relatives. Compounds the hurt, I know. God bless you and keep you.

Get an attorney. Negotiate the percentage and hope it doesn’t happen before the holidays :(

They will prompt you to get mom to write a will which, if you don’t have, you will have buzzards from all over the country trying to file claims against her and your dad’s estate.

But...I very well remember the pain of looking out over the lights of Cam Ranh Bay, Viet Nam, on Christmas Eve, 1969, with an aching heart and a loneliness that was almost more than I could stand.

Been there too. Bien Hoa Air Base. I was in Germany from 80 to 84, so I can relate.

Merry Christmas, all. I am alone and can’t sleep. I was supposed to spend the evening with my mentally ill adult son but he ruined another Christmas. I suspect he may be an alcoholic but he has always been a troublemaker.

Yes, Merry Christmas All.

I gotta say, when I refreshed the page and spotted Fiddlstix’s post, I thought, “here’s my Christmas present!”

Oh happy Christmas Eve! What a wonderful blessing!

Just drove to my local pharmacy to pick up my prescriptions for the coming month.

I know they are open until 9 PM but I should have had a clue as several big stores were closed on the way. Pharmacy was closed for Christmas Eve. So here I am back at home with coffee.

Will not get the pills until Friday after work. Bah humbug!

Yes, I share your sentiments.
2014 has been the worst year of my life.
