i'm i the olny one that feels bad about being alone on the holidays....

Being alone on the holidays can be hard..I know. This site is helping me out some though.

Maybe. I know I don't feel bad about it. But then, I kinda decided to take this Christmas off.

I just got tired of people asking me if I was ready for Christmas yet for the past two weeks. As ready as I'll ever be.

This seems to be the topic today, I don't have a problem being single at any point. as far as Christmas I'm spending it with family.

no your not the only person that feels thats way, however, Im not one of them. I am happy to be alone on the holidays.

Eric sorry to hear your alone too bad you do not live in Texas I would tell you to get your happy ass over here and pass the day by with me and my kids they are in fact around your age and something is always going on here.

haha thank you i would have to take you up on that if i was there

I am sorry you feel so alone. I have spent many holidays alone last year was the worst for me. I was in Seattle didn't know a soul, my son was literally dying in the hospital and it was getting to me. So I took a look around and realized that there were so many in the hospital that had no one. I started going around and saying hello, and asking if there was anything I could do for them. Before I knew it I wasn't alone anymore. Here in Sitka I will be working part of the day then I am off and will be having a quiet dinner here at home.
Here is something I have done for years volunteer at the local community hall and help serve. I know this probably wasn't what you wanted to hear. But remember it could always be worse than it is.

I guess what I am trying to say in a very long winded way is when we don't concentrate on how alone we are and find some way to give we get so much back.
Merry Christmas

i know i'm trying to get over it but its hard because ive been alone for so long

I'm very sorry you are having a hard time this holiday.

i'm tryin :)

Hey believe me I would not offer if I was not totally serious. Actually both of my kids are just a bit older then you are my daughter is in the picture with me and is 24 and my son is 26.


Heck year before last my son and all his roommates he had at the time decided to cook Thanksgiving Dinner. Well I was cordially invited and did not know how special I was till I got there I was in fact the only parent that was invited and showed up. They had a keg and planned a party for later. Well I stayed and ate had me a couple glasses of wine got all my hugs from the whole group and bowed out they even asked me to stay and party with them.

Made me feel really good to know that even my kids friends actually don't mind being around me. But......I told them all they would in fact have more fun and could be themselves without supervision.

Around here it is a bit quieter no big parties but no one is left alone if I can help it they are welcome to eat with us and hang out and then usually the kids go off doing what kids do at that age.

keep your head up bud things will get better

thanks all again

See, your not alone! Your here with all of us. Merry Christmas!
