Thoughts about Christmas
At FB these days people make a lot of postings about Christmas just like “I hate it to be broke, no money for the xmas shopping”, “I go crazy, don’t know what to do first to prepare everything for xmas”, “today started baking cookies for xmas but hubby ate them right away, could start again” and so on. Everyone’s complaining about money, shopping, preparations, they complain about people that say “happy holidays” but not “merry Christmas”, they complain about everything.When I asked some of them “why do you complain about all these things, you’re the lucky one” they asked me if I’m crazy. NO, I’m not, I answered. I wish I would have all those problems, and if only for just one Christmas. Then they asked me if I’m on drugs or if I missed a date with my psychiatrist. NO, I answered. Not at all.
Doesn’t matter if I’m broke or not I don’t have anyone to buy a Christmas present for.
I don’t need to prepare something for Christmas cause I’ll spend it all alone, just like every year. The only company I’ll have are my dogs, my PC, my TV and my couch. Nobody to have party with, nobody to hug, nobody to talk to… except my clients who are crying on the phone that they are alone at Christmas and need me to talk to.
The only cookies I’m baking are some doggy treats and except my dogs nobody will eat them.
It will be just another day, nothing special…neither a happy holiday nor a merry Christmas. I’ll get up, have my cup of coffee, go outside with the dogs, work, take a walk with the dogs, make dinner for the three of us, maybe watch a stupid film on TV, work again and later on I’ll go to bed. That’s all. It will be just a usual day like all the other 364 days of the year.
So, tell me, who’s the lucky one???

Anyw. Lets c how lonely we are next year about this time.
I for one is ready for some change in my xmas rutine, and this is the first year i'll do that.
I do imagine i'd be ready for sth outside of my family next year also.
Put duble alarm-clocks on though!
yes, morgen, let's wait and see...next Christmas it will be different, that's what I told myself every year again and I was right. Why??? Cause every year I was one year older
Try to sleep even for a while. Take care your own health
sleep one or two hours is better than nothing...don't wanna fall asleep when my clients tell me their problems
have a good night, sweet dreams or a wonderful day, cu tomorrow
3 different ways of looking at Christmas then....
The best of all gifts around any Christmas tree
is the presence of a happy family all wrapped up in each other.
What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store.
What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.
The holiday season promotes
a heightened sense of community.
It draws our chins up and
helps us look above and over
the limiting fence of our own events,
activities and preoccupations.
The opportunity for a heroic gesture
can tap you quietly on the shoulder
in the midst of a holiday bustle.
If you are attentive,
you will notice the gentle touch
and will be able to respond. Remember...
There are no small acts of kindness.
Every compassionate act makes large the world.
"Then they asked me if I’m on drugs or if I missed a date with my psychiatrist."
Just bloody marvellous!
I too will spend Christmas home alone and I don't care! Bad attitude? Not in the least. My family gave me so much grief over the years I just stayed away from them. My ex kept the kids away because she was a hag. And I just kinda slid into the home alone thing because in reality it was actually peaceful.
One day I decided I would just treat myself and go somewhere and that's what I do. I've done lotsa fun things alone but my most favorite is fishing! I could watch nature forever. And it took time but the I can see my kids now because she has no control anymore. THEY GREW UP!!!!
I hope you do something even by yourself and I hope you have a very good Happy Birthday Jesus Day!!!
I am in the same situation as just1 look. I have been for years. I don't have an extended family, no pets. My daughter and grandkids live in Chicago but it's not possible for me to be there but I do send them gifts and call them.
It's just another day for me. But I'm thankful for what I have. I'm starting a new tradition with some ladies from the senior league bowl on. They go to the casino on Thanksgiving and Christmas. I went with them Thanksgiving and had a ball and they asked me to go on Christmas too.
It would be nice to have someone to do this with but you find things to do instead of just moping around.
Have a Merry Christmas everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
While most can and do deal with these types of issues with no problems, during certain times of the year we do feel a need to express what it is we miss and I think its good to get things of ones chest every now and then. Also, do remember that all our lives have led different paths and therefore the way we deal with things can, and do, vary extremely from person to person..
Hope you have a great Christmas with your friends and that during your career you were able to see some of the historical buildings throughout Europe..
You see what I mean? There are a lot of people out there that will spend Christmas alone just like you and me. We will do it and we'll make the best out of it.
There are a lot of people that can't cope with it, they'll get depressed.
And then there are people that will spend Christmas with friends or family and what are they doing? Just complaining and whining.
Can't understand it but okay, to each his own.
I will spend Christmas and New Year alone but it's okay. I decided to cook something special just for me (and the dogs of course) and enjoy it anyway. I will watch one of my favorite movies on DVD for the 3.985th time...guess which one...yeah! Kevin - Home alone
When it comes to my brother...well, I'm his sister for 35 years now, his gf he knows just 1 one year. They parted 2 times and started a new, she hurts him deeply several times cause she's a liar, he knows it, he found out on his own, and that's what I told her but if he thinks she's the better choice I wish him good luck. I don't worry cause one day he'll be back and he will see that I only wanted the best for him.
So, friends....let's have a wonderful Christmas time and a lot of fun on our own. We're NOT alone...we will have party with a millions of lonely people out there...in our minds and hearts
