during the holidays and those who may be missing loved ones. I wish you inner peace and happiness during this time. Remember that the forum is here, and there are many poster friends just a click away.

So true...lots of folks may be alone for a variety of reasons.
DH and my Christmas will be spent quietly together as we prepare for his next day’s heart procedure. I never wanted the week to be over so much so we could face the next hurdle.
As I look back over my 70-some Christmases, the ones I love the most are the ones where we quietly celebrated.
Did the big family (dysfunctional) ones, as host as well as attendee.....so glad they are memories now.

@Desert Lily That's very kind of you. I'll be alone, and I lost my Mom in June. It's a very sad time for me.

Thank you for thinking of us. I have been alone before but for some reason this one is difficult. I just want it over.

@Desert Lily I appreciate that you have started this topic. I am alone, but my kids will be here for Christmas Eve. I am lucky to have wonderful children and see them often. I do Christmas Eve every year. (Also did it with huge family years ago, but that is all gone now for many reasons.) I am alone a lot, but try to make the best of it. I know others are much worse off than I am in that they are alone all the time and have no one for the holidays. I decorate, cook, buy a lot of gifts, etc., but in my heart is not the same anymore. I have my faith so that helps. Merry Christmas and blessings to all.

It'll just be another day for me. I talked to my sister in Pa., last night at which time I got the family's itinerary for the big day. They're all spending the night a niece's big house and will be together. Gave me a twinge but I got over it. I'll fix myself a nice dinner and go about my business. Too bad some of us on the boards can't get together.

@Greeneyedlady21 Your mom would not want you to feel sad. Remember that.

I am pleased those of you alone, will still have the company of the board. I know it's not like being in the same room, but the feelings of friendship, are the same
I am glad this thread was posted ,for you to rally round
