Alone for the first time

I might see about volunteering at a local nursing home as companionship for those that don't have any visitors on the day.

Family is too far away (and I don't feel like freezing my ass off in NYC in Dec/Jan) so we usually spend the day with our dogs, then hop on a plane to Europe the next day. It's awesome.

In the past, I have gone out on xmas day into the city of manchester and handed out presents to the homeless.. Usually warm socks, hats, gloves, scarfs, chocolate, turkey sandwiches, a smile and a handshake. It's so rewarding and a great way to let every one have a little piece of xmas spirit.

"BUT I'd like to ask what you do for Christmas??

I don't really do anything at Christmas. I'm usually just glad of the couple of days off work. I was just thinking about this earlier as I wandered around the shops, dismayed that they're already selling Christmas stuff! Christmas lost its magic for me a long time ago. I just don't get any joy or feel any excitement from it anymore. Without wanting to put too much of a downer on things, it can be quite a sad time for me actually.

I haven't really got any suggestions for you OP other than feel free to pack me in your suitcase wherever you're heading

in the suffolk countryside

last year on solstice i held ceremony for longest night, hosted a womens 'rent tent' and then hosted a free dance event, for everyone..it was a great day and evening i may do the same again.

Christmas is all 4 kids of mine being home, with my parents who are still here, and my brother..all doing the open the boxes ( we have boxes so we can fill them with shredded paper and have our traditional paper fight) thing..

dinner together before i slope off, when i cant handle the chaos any more

however i have spent new years in places, Paris, Amsterdam, Australia (as i lived there)

when its not so important for my family id like to do a more Christmas open house for everyone, to come and celebrate together.. whomever wanted to come along..the magic of people and sharing, is Christmas for me.. i also do the socks/gloves hats thing, but i contribute, i dont distribute x

The first time I spent Christmas alone was shit. I was suicidal to be honest but I knew I had to get through it for my son & then I started realising I could do what I wanted when I wanted & instead of it being a low point I saw it as a time to recharge my batteries.

I speak to my family on Christmas Day but I won't go to anyone's & they have to accept that fact.
