I relish my time alone on Christmas. I don't need to pretend to be joyful, etc. It's actually a sad time of year for me, and I don't need anyone to be uncomfortable around me. There are many other days of the year I can spend in joy with others. I've felt the twist of the knife in years past, so I'm happy to just let the day go past with my mind otherwise occupied.

Actualy i just found out that will be me this year and my immediate thought was, i get to eat a Big Lobster!!!!

I'm thankful that I don't know anyone that would be mean spirited enough to do any of these things.

I live alone and feel lucky that I have good friends and feel that each and every one of them would welcome me during their holiday celebration.

I'm alone and live alone. Sometimes I do get lonely. Of course, I worry about the alternative that if I move a woman in she will be here at my place alone while I am gone. I've been alone long enough to have trust issues.
