Yeah Bounty, I was thinking the same thing.
The only time I was away from family on Christmas was when I was in the military.
But, I was around a pretty good bunch of guys who were away from their families too!
So, we made the best of it.

I actually chose to stay home alone today. I'm enjoying every second of it! No big meal to cook or clean up! I'm getting ready to go and watch all the Holiday movies I rented with my popcorn and hot cocoa (although its close to 80 outside LOL). There's plenty of leftovers from the pre Christmas bash on Sunday if I feel like eating something later. The phone calls have all been made and I'm loving a day of peace and quiet alone. Whoot! Later a hot bubble bath, some Frank Sinatra and perhaps a glass of Bitch merlot someone gave me as a gift.

It could be worse. My worst Christmas:

Denver Colorado, 1983. Major blizzard, I was out of work at the time, and living in a small run down house in the industrial part of Denver, about two blocks from the old Gates Rubber plant. I was rooming with a cousin, while I was searching for a new job. The snow literally buried the house. (we actually had to exit the house the next morning via an attic ventilation window) Because I'd been out of work, there was virtually nothing in the house to eat. (we ended up making a combo of linguini noodles, and BBQ sauce to get us through) The phone was out. The electricity was threatening to go at any moment, and we had to shut off the water, because one of the pipes burst at about 2:00 am.

My family wasn't talking to me anyway, since I had recently "come out" to them as being both bi, and kinky.

If you are thinking I'm going to add some kind of "happy ending" to this, I'm afraid it isn't going to happen. There was none. My cousin, whom I never really liked because of his ultra conservative politics, and I were snowed in for the better part of a week. We survived only because a neighbor allowed us to borrow a propane heater, and also gave us a box of spare canned food in exchange for digging out his door to the street, and his car.

Yeah, 1983 was the shittiest year on record for me.

My christmas has you beat. Yesterday was my mothers funeral. After a long battle with cancer she finally past last thursday. My children are home with my ex and later I'll be flying home to spend the rest of the day alone.
and no matter how bad it seems for me, someone has it worse.
I am counting my blessings and trying hard to smile and iI know my mom is still with me, even closer now.

I am so sorry for your loss. My best friend's mother passed away this week and th funeral was a few days ago. I had a death in my family recently as well.

It is very hard to be alone on the holidays, I hope you are feeling better.

this year was better for me, too....very quiet, good food, a couple of boxes didnt get here so we have extra christmas, the yardape was happy with his stuff, and i have a dishwasher this year so cleaning the kitchen was a piece of cake.

this apartment is warm! unlike the house we lost, and i have time to talk to Daddy later. so those are good things.

Most strip bars are open on Christmas. Go out and see some cheer.

The night is still young.

Christmas has always been a double-edged sword for me. I always hope for the best and good times and happy moments, however it always seems to go down the pot at some point.

But that doesn't mean I won't continue to hope. And to wish all peace on Earth and goodwill towards Mankind.

    Dammit, MissM, you should have let me know you were drunk. I'd have suggested all sorts of interesting things.

   These last few years have been very good, but it's the memory of the crummy ones that lets me see that, and appreciate the blessings all the more.

    The first Christmas I spent alone, the guy in the barracks room directly under me committed suicide, first trying to hang himself in the shower, then succeeding by slashing his throat. I'd have shared my vodka with him, but I didn't know (and never heard a thing).

    First one is the hardest, and when times change you know better what to celebrate.

Hey brother, after spending Christmas in Iraq I can definitely feel where you are coming from. Waking up on Christmas morning to go roll around Baghdad sucked but at the end of the day when I could finally call home and talk to my family I realized yet again why I am here doing what we do and how important it is to keep my family and close friends in mind.

Hope things get better for you.

In the end it's really just another day. Chritmas and it's childlike magic is basically for children to really enjoy. It's a time for getting together with family if one has any, and if that family is functional enough to not fall apart around the holidays. i have found over the years that holidays bring stress, which then magnifies any difficulty, dysfunction, emotional or mental illness. If you have the Norman Rockwell family you are very fortunate, not many do, in fact i think they are probably in the minority.

i spent it working evening and night. i had most of the day with my um's and saw my dad for like 2 hours - which was enough considering i don't mesh well with his wife. i always get a bit down around the holidays - seeing my um's growing up is sad for me, i adore little ones and without them Christmas just doesn't have the magical quality they naturally bring to it - seeing it through their eyes is wonderous.

i wonder how my friend did - she was alone. i decided not to call.

i am looking so forward to all that double time

Merry Christmas to all. no matter where you are, you are only as alone as you want to me. Life will be great in '08.

This is a true statement. We will all be alone without children or a significant other at some point in our life on Christmas. We make the best of a bad situation. You can go out and volunteer your time at a shelter or mission. No one is ever truly alone unless they want to be.

I've spent a couple of Christmases alone and it wasn't so bad. I almost miss it these days.

The only problem was that the only restaurants that were open were Chinese. That got a little boring.

thank you, its hard to believe its Christmas, her death was slow in coming but that doesn't make it an easier (cancer). I am lucky to have celebrated my christmas with my children the weekend before she passed, which helped a little. Her passing will be something that will take time for me to accept. I do accept its best and am trying to be optimistic for 2008. Honestly it can't be much worse so I'm looking forward to the new year!!! And if i didn't have to be at work on new years day at 0530, I would bring it in with alll of you who can.
