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!!!
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...
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.
Merry Christmas to all the Freepers out there. Sometimes alone is better than not. However we are never alone with Christ, especially at Christmas.
I’m here and extending a merry Christmas to you.
I am........:(
I spent over 2 hours (4:45pm - 7:10pm MT), chatting with my son tonight in person. Did not get to see my grands or D-I-L but that’s the plan tomorrow.
My mother died in 2011. Because of my status as a single person with a grown on his own child and everyone else having other family events to go to I became mom’s Christmas Eve date from about 2005 until the year she died. We would hang out at her apt watching the Christmas shows and having snacks and chatting. About 10 I would give her a kiss and hug and a “Merry Christmas mom” and head home. She was about ready for bed.
I’m not some great hero, I was just doing what a son should. A few members of the family didn’t seem to mind her being all alone on Christmas Eve. Not on my watch.
Jesus here with me.
As usual, yes.
Went to a 3pm local time Christmas Eve vigil mass. Never went to Christmas mass so early
You and I are in a similar place, but since my dog passed in October, this Christmas I don’t even have a dog.
But, all is still well anyway.
Merry Christmas!
Two of my four years in the usaf saw me spending Christmas away from fam and essentially alone. I learned then to reach deap and reflect on happy past christmasses, and thereafter to see extra value in traditional christmasses w fam and friends.
[Is Anyone Else Spending Christmas Eve Alone?]
Yes. Me, a female Rat Terrier, and a tropical fish (Betta) of undetermined gender affiliation.
And the Internet. So I have almost the entire accumulated knowledge of six thousand years of human history to keep me occupied.
When one knows Jesus as his or her personal Savior . . . that’s all one needs . . . there’s no “being alone”. Have a blessed Christmas everyone!
Twas the Night Before Jesus Came
‘Twas the night before Jesus came and all through the house
Not a creature was praying, not one in the house.
Their Bibles were lain on the shelf without care
In hopes that Jesus would not come there.
The children were dressing to crawl into bed,
Not once ever kneeling or bowing a head.
And Mom in her rocker with baby on her lap
Was watching the Late Show while I took a nap.
When out of the East there arose such a clatter,
I sprang to my feet to see what was The matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash!
When what to my wondering eyes should appear
But angels proclaiming that Jesus was here.
With a light like the sun sending forth a bright ray
I knew in a moment this must be The Day!
The light of His face made me cover my head
It was Jesus! Returning just like He had said.
And though I possessed worldly wisdom and wealth
I cried when I saw Him in spite of myself.
In the Book of Life which He held in His Hand
Was written the name of every saved man.
He spoke not a word as He searched for my name;
When He said “It’s not here” My head hung in shame!
The people whose names had been written with love
He gathered to take to His Father above.
With those who were ready He rose without a sound
While all the rest were left standing around.
I fell to my knees, but it was too late;
I had waited too long and this sealed my fate.
I stood and I cried as they rose out of sight;
Oh, if only I had been ready tonight.
In the words of this poem the meaning is clear;
The coming of Jesus is drawing near.
There’s only one life and when comes the last call
We’ll find that the Bible was true after ALL!
Never alone in spirit with Jesus.
Well Im alone but not lonely. I made a roast for tomorrow and will bake some bread. My family is scattered pretty much all over the map . The Christmas tree is very diff this year. I placed small cardonals and little red candles in holders and the white lights make it glow.
Im 69 and have been single for awhile; married only once. Ive been praying to the Lord for a partner ; male friendship or what it could possibly turn into.
I would enjoy hearing from a man between the age of 69-74 I live in the Upper NorthEast, div, 5’5”, 160 blue eyes,brn hair, somewhat athletic- i like to play golf and fish.
Sincerely
SDF
Merry Christmas. Not alone, but I do have 3 dogs and a brand new wife and 3 sons to spend it with. But a dog is mans-best-friend so you aren’t alone.
