Anyone else spending Christmas Eve alone?
The bizarro world of brother skooz | 12/24/2014 | Skooz

Posted on 12/24/2014 5:33:35 PM PST by Skooz

Hello all. Sitting here at home and wondering if anyone else out there is spending this evening alone.

On this night of all nights when families gather and friends share gifts and time, some of us are, for various reasons, spending Christmas Eve solo.

Not necessarily a bad thing - alone doesn't always mean lonely. But, it does mean alone.

Check in if that includes any of you, my fellow Freepers.

The more I deal with the people of society today, the more I like my pet scorpion.

I went to services tonight too. Back home, two cats, power went out briefly (woohoo!), at least one of my sisters will call tomorrow. All in all, not the worst of arrangements...

Just the two of them. A Jack Russell and a Corgi Jack Russell mix.

Family, my kids, holidays, hosting family stuff. I loved all that. Can’t do it now. That time abruptly ended. Will get to see my kids for breakfast. Thankful for that time tomorrow.

The wife is working 6:00 to 6:00 tonight, so it’s just me and the cats. We’ll do presents after she comes home and gets some sleep. All the best to you, and a Merry Christmas!

I’m solo as well, this good night. I’ll go dancing later tonight.

A little something to keep us amused:

I didn’t know it was only for military people. It probably says and I just missed it. Sorry for crashing in a couple of times.

Alone watching a marathon of Scrooge movies on YouTube, wrapping gifts even at this late hour.

A Corgi/Jack Russell -— not attentive and hyper at all, right?

It’s how we FReepers entertain our military. Everyone is welcome.

I’m alone this evening after having the grandkids here this afternoon. I’m ok with it. My childless sister, however, is spending the evening alone, for the first time in 47 years. She lost her husband this past April, and today would have been his 66th birthday. She wanted to tough it out, thinking that it can’t get any worse. I’m sure there are a lot of stories out there like this, and I feel deeply for them.
