it's a sad question, but the reality is, some people just aren't close enough to their family or they're friends are away etc (whatever reason).
to those who are, i wish you a merry christmas and happy new year. :noel:

My family is all over and with jobs, family etc, we don't really get together to often. I miss childhood sometimes when we were all together. :(
Some people think of it as just another day. Just with different tv shows. Football and such.Quote:

Merry christmas to you too toots. yeah i just popped round to both my neighbours place. (houses on opposing sides) to wish them a merry christmas and present them with a small gift. i got a slab of beer for Ray and his fam who lives on my right. he's a top bloke who helps us out with some of the tougher jobs (landscaping etc). and a box of chocolates for Andrew and his missus to the left. and after my sister is done with her hair we're off to the annual family christmas party.
I have 2 cats... I love Christmas,,,I decorate and the whole 9...Quote:

Either way, hope it's merry and bright. ~
This year Im spending the holidays with my father, he's my only parent alive( my mom passed away when i was 7) and he's been the only family I've had ever since we moved from the US. The last holidays I spent em wasted with my friends, complete synergism. This year Im drinking wine and getting high alone because my dad don't get high and he can't drink, its going to be fun and memorable
I don't think I'd mind too much bein' alone on christmas. Not everyone is a people person...
I still live at home though, so I'm not alone. Usually me, my parents, my aunt and uncle and cousins go out to the movies on christmas day. Don't know if we'll do that this year but we will see them.
We don't have that kind of stuff around here,,,but the thought is a good one... maybe I'll look into it for next year,I could check the nearest urban areas...Quote:

merry christmas to everyone!
