Are you planning on spending Christmas alone this year? If so, how did you break it to family that, that is what you want to do without upsetting anyone?

Need to break the news soon, so all advice welcomed

I have found thats its actually easier to go than to get the grief for not going..... use the dog/ lack of drinking as an excuse to leave early, then you can get back home to wallow if you wish- or get pissed and veg in front of the telly!

either way ((((((hugs)))))))))

I'm spending it alone

A cause I want to and always have wanted to spend one alone (personal reasons)

B cause I can't get to Scotland to me other half until after Christmas

But I've never had Christmas with family anyway other than my partner

Just say that you want it alone but you want them ta be happy for ya

It's their problem if they have a problem with it

Good luck and enjoy ya day xx

My folks live miles away in another continent, and I see them once every 2 years.

As a family, we stopped "doing" Christmas a long time ago when the children left home to be schooled in another country.

Therefore, being alone at Christmas is not an issue for me.

Say you're having one to yourself this year.

I've been lucky as I have a job that I can offer to work if I don't want to do much, or I'm now so far from family, I'm not asked any more !

My son moved to Liverpool with his girlfriend and it was likely that he wasn't going to be able to afford to come home, I will be working so whilst my daughter invited me to hers, it seemed unfair for her to have to wait until I finished then drove to hers so I have told her to accept the invitation for Christmas dinner at her boyfriends sisters. I will cook my own dinner then she is popping to mine on their way home. Not quite alone but almost, she did try to persuade me to come to hers but I just decided to stay at home, its a long day and I only fall asleep after dinner so what's the point

Last year, I had the worse Xmas ever, I had just visited my father to arrange to take him out for Xmas dinner the following week and he died the next day (Choked on his food in the nursing home) so we had to have his funeral the week before Xmas, not a bundle of laughs - At the time I was single, had no family left to speak of, so decided to have an open house on Xmas day for anyone else who was on their own, 5 people were coming, so I got tons of food in for everyone. Two of them cancelled two days before, two of them cancelled the night before and one of them cancelled 20 minutes after I started cooking the dinner.

Facebook that day had a picture of me with a mountain of food in front of me and empty table. I was non plussed to say the least.

Not a good time. Something tells me this one will be better. So certainly anyone on their todd has my sympathy vote.

But it is not sympathy I want, it's just people think that because you are single you are lonely! I'm not, also family 'expect' you to go to them, all I want is a nice relaxed enjoyable christmas which I can do at my own pace.

Have a long lie, leisurely shower, get dressed, open bubbly, and then open what santa has left for me

I do a visiting thing, spending an hour or so with each friend/family member, after they have had their dinner. Then I go home and count the paracetamol
