Well, another year, another Christmas Eve. I’ll be home alone with my faithful greyhound, sipping vino and watching George Bailey learn how wonderful life is, which has been my tradition for about 15 years now. Anyone else going it solo tonight?
Hang tough mate.
> If I could ship several teenaged boys to you, I would!
I hope THAT doesn’t get quoted out of context. 🤣
Yep, but I’ll be spending Christmas with my daughter and son-in-law tomorrow.
What a trip you and your mini had. Sounded wonderful.
So, tell me, why do you think you have not found your mate, yet? We at FR are here to listen and help.
Yep. Got thrown off a horse yesterday and I’m hurt up pretty good. Laying on the sofa, taking Aleve and watching tv
Have the Yule Log with Christmas music on my TV.🎄 Merry Christmas 🎄
That was kind....bless your heart.
” We at FR are here to listen and help.”
“listen and help.”
In my case it is to listen and LEARN, not sure I am ok on the help part.
We are never alone!
It is a nice program. A mixture of Christmas songs and Christmas factoids.
My Great Pyrennnes pupper and I are hanging out, watching tv.
Merry Christmas!!! I’ve spent many alone, or working, and there is an opportunity to think about the meaning of Christmas independent of the pomp and circumstance involved with entertaining or having to go somewhere. I’m not putting those things down, but ultimately, having quiet time with God, and your pup, is a good thing. Blessings and Joy to you!!!
But you survived! Congratulations!
My baby’s gone. I have no friends to wish me greetings once again.
Yup! Single, simple, sane, predictable, lo-stress and no one to offend with bodily noises.
Lost wife of 49 years, 8 month and 5 days ago. 2 dogs, they have acres to patrol. Never allowed inside. Saw most of family yesterday, not expecting anyone. Me and a drink to get through the night. How it will be from now til...
I miss seeing kids at Christmas. Lost my husband seven years ago and both of my parents around the same time.
Tomorrow I will get to spend some of Christmas day with my sister and my beautiful niece’s family.
I am looking forward to that.
Your pain is still raw. I guess we endure. We can feel like a remnant.
Please have a beautiful and peace-filled Chrilstmas day, Skoos!
I usually go it alone, but not this year. I had to put my beloved, cheŕished dog to sleep a few days ago so I’m spending some time with family. Something I’ve not done on Christmas in well over 15 years.
In the meantime, to all who goi it alone, have a nice day.
