Take a bottle of red, and go make a family happy by sharing the holiday with them. It's also lovely about skype with your bro, no matter what the timing.<br /><br />For the first time in a decade, some of our kids will be here for Christmas Day. I'm thrilled! <br />zippiknits...sometimeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17385498014336581117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7405257825566100432.post-28779480845741404992013-12-10T15:38:52.639+00:002013-12-10T15:38:52.639+00:00People generally don’t extend invitations to peopl...People generally don’t extend invitations to people they don’t want to be around. The holidays are about giving and sharing. Opening one’s home is a kind act of sharing.

To me, Christmas is primarily a religious event, even though the family gathering tends to take up the most time and command the most attention. Without a family dinner or gift-giving, it might feel a little odd, but I don't think I'd want to get movies or watch TV nonstop. I'd probs call rellies and listen to Christmas music on the radio and post stuff on the internet. I think I'd also give myself a fancy meal (go to a restaurant?). So I think I'd be okay.naturgesetzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15268507379933286863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7405257825566100432.post-1680815260203963562013-12-09T15:31:44.020+00:002013-12-09T15:31:44.020+00:00eleven years ago I spent Christmas alone.

I was house-sitting for friends on sabbatical in Ireland, my folks were in Europe on a sabbatical of their own, and my brother and his partner were visiting partner's family.<br /><br />I had the time of my life! I cooked, watched movies, soaked in the hot tub, drank a glass or two of wine, and just did what I wanted to do for once. Best holiday *ever*.Jeffreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00011128913015546462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7405257825566100432.post-6031438060452012782013-12-09T03:17:54.803+00:002013-12-09T03:17:54.803+00:00Wonderful post today I will be spending Christmas ...Wonderful post today I will be spending Christmas day without my family this for the first time in a long time so I know it will be really strange,but I'm sure at least on of my buddies will make me happy later in the eveningQueer Heavenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07414028446654656227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7405257825566100432.post-55289836281344995542013-12-09T02:01:00.988+00:002013-12-09T02:01:00.988+00:00For the last ten years I have spent every other Ch...For the last ten years I have spent every other Christmas alone. My kids go with their mom, and I have to wait until they come back on the 27th, and then we travel to visit family. It's not so bad. I get a few movies I've been wanting to see. Some snacks. I relax for the day....unusual to be so unplugged and turned off for the day. It's not so bad. Made easier because I know I'll see family in a few days.RBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17761591668246881356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7405257825566100432.post-49384705961607715642013-12-08T21:01:36.553+00:002013-12-08T21:01:36.553+00:00The eating together will happen with my brother, w...The eating together will happen with my brother, who is in New Zealand, so will happen 2AM Xmas morning and will happen over Skype. Everyone calls relatives on Christmas morning. <br /><br />You can't just show up at a Soup Kitchen over here, you have to be criminally checked and cleared. But there will be movies and reading.<br /><br />The point of trying it alone, if if I will feel lonely or not.

Christmas in my family was always a big deal - visiting grandparents, all the aunts and uncles and cousins there - the whole shebang. So spending them alone was not great. <br /><br />I get what you mean about spending your first alone, but are you really alone when you can Skype with your brother, talk to your mom and others, eat "together"? I sure get what you mean by not wanting to intrude, or sit around while everyone else "christmases". <br /><br />Plan a movie marathon, maybe find a soup kitchen to help serve dinner, or sleep late, then enjoy the time reading or whatever. I think there's a difference between being alone and being lonely. If the former is what you'll be, I think you can alleviate the possibilities of the latter.<br /><br />Peace <3<br />JayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7405257825566100432.post-20472898899863460262013-12-08T19:56:27.464+00:002013-12-08T19:56:27.464+00:00I had to do this a few years back when I was sick....I had to do this a few years back when I was sick.
