Is anyone else spending Christmas alone? Would anyone who reads this mind pasting some Christmas cards online please? I love Christmas trees & Santa, also a tree inside a warm house. I can visualize in my mind that at least. Merry Christmas. PS I like a lot of the posts on here I feel at home. Don't have a lot of people to talk politics to or anything else for that matter

51 Things To Do On Christmas - Alone

[2ndDivisionVet]

I’ve been there, especially overseas.

Most of my family has died. I’ve done it (spent Christmas and other holidays alone) several times.

Pick up a Bible and read the Gospel According to John and the Psalms.

Hang in there.

I grew up in a very dysfunctional family and Christmas gatherings have a very bad memory for me. So most Christmases I intentionally spend alone. But I like it. Prefer it now. I find there is no better time for reflection and getting ones head and priorities in order.

My advice is approach it in that mindset. Christmas is SUPPOSED to be about God. Not stupid sweaters and drunk idiots spending a lot of money to ease their consciences about the people they screw all year, by buying them presents.

You’re new. Welcome to FreeRepublic.

Sounds a bit sappy, but count your blessings on Christmas day—you have many.

But, more importantly, if you realize the holiday is not just Santa and bright lights, you’ll realize you’re never alone.
He’s with you.

Merry Christmas to you.

If it is as bad as you say, you are smart not to go.

Merry Christmas.

If there is a 'feed the homeless' program around, you might consider volunteering your help. You'll probably be around a few dysfunctional people there, too, but they will likely be happy to see you.

Whatever your choice, May you have a blessed day.

I have spent a few Christmases away from family, too, out on oil drilling rigs. Make the most of it, wherever you are.

You are never alone on Free Republic...spell words wrong and the spelling police will be right there. And, you can always shine a flashlight in dark places to ID all the spiders that you will happy to know that you share your home with. See, would you not rather be alone than have me to keep you company? LOL

[Vendome]

Yeah but, you are in America. So, something to be grateful for and you’re amongst family here.

[Eagles6]

Go to church.

Avoid mohammadens.

Count your blessings.

Welcome to Free Republic.

Alone? You’re never alone. You have similarly thinking people who now know of your situation. I, for one, want you to have the happiest Christmas ever. Just as someone else mentioned, there are activities and charities that are very active right now, all around you. They need you. And, I’d bet, a lifelong friend awaits you. You have something to offer, and it’s your duty (and you know it) to offer it. If you decide to stay in, well, keep posting. We’re going to be here for you. Freepers are never sleepers! We’ll get you through.

Do you live in a city? As others suggested, volunteering at a shelter is a great way to spend the day. Also, you can join all our Jewish brethren in going to see Star Wars (or another movie of your choice) and then out for a Chinese meal! You’ll have plenty of company doing that.

Merry Christmas.

[gunsequalfreedom]

There is an easy cure for that. Volunteer at a one of the kitchens the provide meals to the poor. It makes for a wonderful Christmas. Hope you are able to get out and do that. Merry Christmas to you.
