I found Christmas the hardest time to be alone, because there is so much hype about how wonderful it is and a huge expectation to like it.

In reality it can be a lonely and stressful time for many. wine

One good thing about living abroad, nowhere near as commercialized they celebrate Christmas Day then Kings day in Jan, but thats it it's not rammed down your throat at every opportunity. wave

Oh kings day, when I lived in canaries. I loved the camels coming round and guys throwing sweets for the kids, it was such a great experience.

I remember a Christmas just a few years back when I worked until one a.m. Christmas Day and went home and got undressed and stayed in my pyjamas all day long and just ate a bowl of cereal; I'd been invited out to Christmas lunch with friends but just wanted to be alone with my own thoughts and not have to pretend to be in good spirits when I wasn't.............. it was an 'ok' day, but I missed being with those I really loved.

I'm totally turned off by Christmas and New year - like someone a few posts ago said, I'm heartily sick of having it all rammed down my throat - I mean, my local supermarket (Tesco) had the decos up in MID - OCTOBER ffs !!!!!!

I dont dread any day on my own, I'm comfortable in my own skin and with who I am. There are plenty of invites so if I want to go places I can quite easily, but if I dont - no sweat :)

I too don't really dread being on my own for public holidays, it's just a day, and if I don't have any invitations from friends or can't be with my family, I'll try to do something productive. Maybe it comes from having worked night shifts including Xmas etc etc, but it's really only a day, no difference. Of course if I started chanting "woe is me", I'm sure the feeling of dread and misery would be knocking on my door before long.

And, single doesn't automatically mean alone, thankfully...

Whew, I re-read my post and it sounds kinda heartless laugh It's not that I don't appreciate all these nice traditions, but... is Valentine's Day the only day we're going to celebrate love? Is Christmas Day the only day to remember about God? Is New Year's Eve the only time to start your life anew? I guess I don't stick to these customary dates so strictly. When I have love, I celebrate it daily, when I feel inspired, I can thank God daily, or state my resolutions when I need to, not when all the hype is in the air (and the stores).

I used to go to church, but never at Christmas.......... I used to give women flowers, but never on Valentine's Day......... I used to make resolutions, but never on New Year's Eve........ I used to celebrate and drink, but never on my birthday - now I'm too knackered from celebrating to bother at all - ever! rolling on the floor laughing

Well as I've always hated Valentines Day....I was like Charlie Brown in my younger days and it hasn't improved....rolling on the floor laughing so Valentines doesnt bother me in the bit...

But as Christmas has always been my favorite time of the year and when my kids were little it was a magical time for me but now that they are older and I'm very, very single I'm starting to dislike Christmas and thats a bummer....as I love the lights and the songs and the Christmas cartoon specials....sigh

but I feel the most lonely during Thanksgiving even with my family around as they all have mates and odd-ball me has no one...and they wonder why I drink.....drinking

I chose other b/c there are days when the lonliness is greater than others and not necissarily on Holidays.

I have learned to live with it.

I agree, though, it is SOMETIMES better to be alone than surounded by others and you to be hurting.

OTHERTIMES, it is good to see others Happy and be happy for them, eventhough you are alone, as this gives both good memories, past present and HOPE for the Future.

Remember though, noe of us is truly Alone. There is a Loving Higher Power or G-d behind each of us, giving us Hugs if we only pay ttention to Him doing so.
hug comfort hug comfort

I would say my birthday and Valentine's Day-because my birthday happens to fall on that day...everyone always thought it was so neat--well-that is also the day all couples usually have plans (like all my friends) so most of the time it was spent home alone...Don't think I will have that problem this year... grin

All in all they are all just another day...
