Christmas, This year is yet an other year of war - to me. that is. i will buy a very small christmas tree, with roots, because i love the smell of fresh christmas tree in my living room. So, i can put it in my garden, after Christmas. I am not going to make it all one big deal. I just buy what i like to eat, some special treats, like bleu cheese, the france kind...Rouqefort, some salmon too. Something nice to drink, alcoholic, some great herbal teas. maybe have a new, fresh thriller to read, too? Just enjoying myself, as i always did when i was alone during the festive days. I like being alone during the holyday season, i find those family gathering almost always very unnatural, very forced ,to be "nice" to nieces, nephews you dont like at all, and all that socializing. all that nonsens, all that small talk, or stupid political talk... I dont have anything to tell most of my family members, Or they wont understand me.... It cost too much, i dont get enough back, on a emotional level. I am drained afterwards... So, i will listen to radio 10, with some great music, The top 4000 it is called, or put some CD in my stereo and enjoy myself. You all have a great Christmas and have fun, be safe, dont drink and drive, please. |

Some friends, think, i am lonely. But, am i lonely only on Christmas, because they like the family gathering? Or .....? Are, they maybe jealous? And would love to be able to quit those tiresome family gatherings? Just saying.....

I think each to their own. I agree that if it has to be forced, then you shouldn't be attending. I have a very close family and love spending time with them. The holidays take away a lot of the distractions which means we can all gather. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas.

Being alone for Xmas isn't such a bad thing - you buy what you want for yourself, you dress how you want, and most importantly you control the TV remote !! Sure, there is the "being alone" factor, but perhaps a great day to fire up the web-cam and find all the other people who are so desperate to escape the family that they've sneaked off to the garden shed, and logged into ALT !! Already got my turkey joint in the freezer (feeds a family of 4, but not with me around it won't !!) , and of course a rare day off when WhatsApp is only for pictures of food nobody wants to eat for the next week !! Just feel sorry for poor Santa Claus ......... he only comes once a year D-J xx

This year has changed the way Christmas is to be celebrated for me. I am actually traveling and spending it with a friend. I don't subscribe to forced socialization. Big family things... nope, not for me. Low key is best. I haven't put up a tree in years, but perhaps next year I will get a live one and plant it after, to commemorate a new tradition. Thank you for the reminder. Happy Christmas to you.

rosa I am like you and HATE the forced gatherings with their meaningless banter A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing. George Bernard Shaw Jenny

Jenny, The thing is, when you(?) /i have lived a long time of your life, alone. I like being alone, i dont have any problem with being alone. I am my own best company. I can enjoy myself, with what ever it is, i like at that moment, be it masturbating, sewing or cooking or just watching the birds in my garden... If i want company i call a friend, or two, and we will meet and have meaningful conversations and fun too. I dont need family for that.

sydney, Yeah, sure, when you come from a very close knit family, ánd you enjoy that, why not! Have all the fun you can handle. I am not from a close knit family at all, so that has totally no meaning for me, at all. I will have a great Christmas!

Natalie_ A lot of people are alone. period! So, Christmas does not change that, for them, at all. Yes, i love to plant the tree in my garden, i have one, who is very tall, almost as high as my house! Love that!

davina, it is all about the rituals, ofcourse, i understand that. There is a nice ring, to all those family rituals, IF, you have such a family. I dont, so to me, it is alright, as it is! I have seen to many family partys turn ugly because aunt this or uncle so, could not hold his liquor. I dont have a TV! I will enjoy myself with this great radio show! The best of 2021!

inderioMinx, Yes, low key is more my style too. Oh, that would be nice, if you make it a new tradition, putting the tree back in the soil, enjoy it all year around.

Christmas, for me, has been spent with close friends for the last 40 years or so. There's no pressure just good friends with a few adult beverages
