Have two friends who were. One other in a bad place with his family.
I’m blessed with a great family. Took time out from them to be with the one guy (got him to laugh - WIN!), hanging out with the other tomorrow so he is not alone, and stayed in touch with the third by phone.
Christmas is tough for a lot of people.
If you are alone, find friends who will be there for you. If you are not alone, be sensitive to those in your life who might be. And pray for them as well as yourself.
Make it a Merry Christmas in fact as opposed to just name!
PS Prayers sent your way, Skooz, whether or not you believe in such.
Thanks so much for your prayers. Yes, I believe very much in the power of prayer.
Merry Christmas!
Many years ago I realized that quite a few people we know are alone on Christmas Eve so I started doing an open house. I buy tamales and have rice and beans and our house is packed. Everyone eats, drinks, and has a great time.
I had to cancel this year because I have an awful chest cold and just didn’t feel like doing it. Made me feel really bad to cancel.
