This is where I whine.

Christmas was horrible this year. For the first time ever, I spent Christmas all alone and it was kind of torture. No one called me. I was the recipient of a few mass blast texts. I got a few personalized ones. Sent a couple myself. Snow didn't help matters. This, I suppose, is what I have to look forward to. Christmas alone. No family to

I agree that being alone on Christmas is a bit depressing. I've done a couple myself. I just made the best of it. Sometimes our expectations for the day make reality a letdown.

But for the rest of it, hey, I did it for ten years. It wasn't half bad - I guess I've always been a bit of a loner, and even now, I need my down time.

You're still grieving and hurting. That will ease with time. It won't always be this bad.

I had to find a few things to get my butt out of the house once in awhile. It helps to get involved in some sort of charitble work. My church has a food pantry I work at. If you're not into church, the outreach arm often is grateful for help from non-members. I know my church is. That kind of thing really puts it in perspective for me. There are lots of people in this town who are in poor health or working poor who need a hand, and my church sits right in the midst of all that.

Also, try to find something interesting where people get together on a regular basis (not once a year like D*C).

Hang in there.

*hugs*

sounds dreadful as I know you are a social beast Foe

Ideas above sound very good now that you know being on your own isn't your cup of tea.

I'm sorry it was a downer you certainly deserve a happy day!

I was in pretty much the same boat.
