Alone in New Mexico for the 2nd Christmas since my divorce and my whole family is on the east coast. Oh well, what can you do?.lol

Thanks friend, you are greatly appreciated. God bless you and Merry Christmas!

I am alone too. I just got off work. My family dont care about anyone but themselves. I am the black sheep of the family for some reasone. Any ways Merry Christmas to all. : )

Where are you going for dinner? I can get dressed real nice and be there in what.....5 hours!
I just got out of the shower!!

Alone?
Pffft - I wish...

Instead I'll be surrounded by chaos for the next five day


Finishing wrapping presents and making more shortbread cookies tonight

Happy Holidays

I am sitting here watching "A Charlie Brown Christmas" (1965). No one else is here, unless you want to claim my dog...

I have someone special that I met here at JSH... she lives in another state of course. Everytime I talk to her, she says "I am so lonely this time of year, I wish I had someone in my life so I could share this holiday season with them."

I guess I'm chopped liver... ?

Actions do speak louder than words.

On one hand, someone tells you you are special to them... in the next sentence they say they are so lonely and wish they had someone in their life... really makes a guy feel worthless.

Merry Christmas... humpf...

I hate Christmas.. I have ever since I was in my 20-somethings... just a bunch of commercial bull$hit and that's about it. Throw some presents at some people then forget them until next year. Woo-pee...

I think I would rather be alone for Christmas than to be part of "black Friday" and the complete commercial mutilation of an entire season. I am always relieved when this crap is passed and we can get on to our regularly scheduled programs.

When I was younger, in the 20-somethings, the anxiety was from always being broke, and not being able to play the gift giving game. Lot's of Christmases I've spent in another room of the house, dreading the commencement of the present opening ceremony. I hate it.. and its worse when you are broke, because you honestly don't have the cash to buy crap for people. Besides, most people buy crap for themselves all year long, and I doubt that anything anyone ever gives anybody is remembered more than a day or two after they rip open the crap.

This season isn't about elves, pine trees, taking Bible scriptures out of context and going ape-$hit buying gifts because 3 wise men have Jesus gifts, it is about reindeer, mistletoe, holly, not some fat elf in a red suit, it isn't about tearing open crap that people give you, it isn't even anything about pigging out with some kind of gluttonous meal.

Its all a major cover up so that we forget that Christmas is about a babe that was born in a manger 2007 years ago, to a virgin named Mary, who had never been with a man. An immaculate conception predicted by prophets some 1,500 or more years earlier. A baby that came into the world, lived, and then was crucified at the demand of his own people. Who, as a man, beat the grave, was resurrected on the third day, and is now seated at the right hand of the Father, the Creator of the universe.

All the glitz, presents, and crap are there to get your eyes off of the real event.

I would rather be at home, alone, away from all of the incredibly commercial crap. Because here at home, it's just me and my Lord Jesus... celebrating His birthday... and I don't need anyone else.

I am never alone if I hold on to my faith...

I especially wouldn't rely on some dumb girl to make a difference in my life. LOL.... If she is lonely, its because she wants to be lonely, and feel that self-pity crap...

I'll be so glad when tomorrow (the 25th) is over... its like a big burden, a festering sore, an ache that won't go away, a disease that has run rampant into people's lives.

And they say it should be Merry...

It is anything but Merry... it is an abomination and should be illegal... LOL.

To hell with Christmas.... bah humbug......

Once again I am alone for Christmas....but I make the best of it and go do some charity work at the shelters. Makes it a little easier....take care all

Im not alone........I have my bottle of rum right here!!

Pass the rum over, Gypsy-Girlie.

Um, on second thought, I'll pull the vodka out of the freezer. I once got pregnant on too much rum.

Awww, TM, I'm sorry that your girl said that. Maybe she meant physically along. And enough with the negativity, you can't run for President with that attitude.

Wiccancowboy, thanks for serving. I really do appreciate you giving of yourself that way.

Hugs, M

I cant even begin to know what your feeling but do know that there are people here praying and fighting to get you men and women home...take care of yourself and God Bless I appreciate your service

This is my first Christmas alone in 3 years. My husband came home and packed his things and told me he was leaving while I was in the living room wrapping packages. He did this November 28 2007. Our girl's birthdays are the 15th and 22nd of December. I now no how dissappointing this time of year can be.

I am alone this year too. Haven't seen the grandkids since February or so, and the house is really quiet, I used to see them daily and have sleepovers every weekend with my granddaughter. Miss them something fierce. They are about 9 hours away and I don't have the means right now to make the trip or a reliable vehicle, so going it alone, the first time since the kids were born (about 8 years ago).

I will have lunch tomorrow with my dad in the nursing home, but wish I could just work and pretend the day was over with. I know that doesn't make me a good Christian, but would help keep my mind busy. I agree with a lot of what you said Telephone Man, about the commercialism and taking away from the real meaning of Christmas.

Have a good Christmas.

I'm wishing everyone of us alone people on this day,

Have a Very Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year !!!

My wish is that each and everyone of us would find the Love we have been dreaming of.
