Yes. First Christmas without both my parents, a very sad day for me.

I put Wonder Woman 84 on pause because I was falling asleep, have felt tired all day. But I put on a red top and a Christmas scarf and my makeup this morning. Listened to some Christmas music, can't handle too much of it. Doing the best I can today.

Pouring rain instead of snow, so at least I don't have to shovel.

I did put some decorations and lights up this year and I have enjoyed them.

@Greeneyedlady21 : So sorry for the loss of your parents this year.

I do hope loving memories of all the many Christmases shared over your lifetime will bring comfort and a smile today.

Other than meeting my brother-in-law at the door to get the dinner he dropped off, I have been alone today. It was a great day....i talked to my children and grands, got surprised texts from a couple of friends, and texted with all my siblings. Opened the gifts under my tree, and was touched by the love and kindness shown.

I have been watching Christmas episodes of old shows on Antenna-tv, sometimes switching to Christmas music, and took a 2-hour nap!

I have had a real sense of peace all day, knowing those I love most are in their homes, safe and healthy, and having their own celebrations.

It has been a different Christmas, definitely....but a good one for me in spite of the challenges.

@goldensrbest. You have your Golden Retrievers and I have my Labrador Retrievers. All great dogs. I hope I remain healthy enough to have my pets in life. They keep me active. I was alone at the dog park, actually snowed so made a path. Didn't stay as long as paws got cold but it is sunny and they got to run a bit. I have no family to speak of. I should be used to it by now but not always.

Insert Zoom for Facetime, and same here @JaneMarple . All family members in their respective homes.

First time in 31 years my son and I have spent Christmas (and Thanksgiving for that matter) apart. My 94 year old mother has been living with my sister since March, and we are all very grateful for that.

I made a Seafood Broil Christmas dinner, for one. I'm laughing at the enormous amount of food that yields. Good thing I like leftovers.

A very, very different holiday season for sure.

@Caaareful Shopper

What is a seafood broil? I was intrigued plus your comment about the enormous amount of food it yields. Same here, a large prime rib & tons of veg last night, 18lb ham today....for 2 people. Lots of ham sandwich size packets in the freezer soon!

Yes, but I have kept myself entertained.

While you may physically be alone, please try not to feel lonely, as there are many of us "here" with you in our thoughts ❤️

@goldensrbest , yes, I've spent today alone. Will be glad when the day is over. At least we have the forums to come to.
@newjersey. Amen! The forums are great entertainment. Just chatting with a bunch of friends.

I decided a couple years ago to stop using Facebook and it was a great decision, I felt it was a time waster. Not a time waster here on the forums, it is a treat to hear peoples' opinions from around the country. It can be educational, fun and great company.
