"Think it's been a shitty year for most but I will try and take the positives.... I got extra time with the wee dude over lockdown 1 and we went back old school with finding things to keep us going. I hadn't long moved house so actually got to know my neighbours pretty fast as we all checked in on each other.....and I've manged to keep working throughout so that is a bonus. Can't believe we are almost approaching Dec it feels like it's been a fast year all things considered. I know I've been one of the more fortunate people threw out all of this x" I'm so glad you settled in to your new home and have been able to take many positives from it. I agree it's been an insanely quick year for me too. Here's hoping the positivity continues for you all xx | |||

"I agree it's been an insanely quick year for me too." I've noticed a few times recently that my girlfriend and I have spoken about stuff and we both suddenly realise it was just this year. It feels like it was such a long time ago sometimes. We've often referred to some times as pre or post Dog, as we had to have our 4-legged "son" put to sleep early April. If there's anything from this year that I feel will be a big difference for most people is that they will realise Christmas is about the people around you, not the stupidly expensive stuff you buy for them. Yea there will still be some stupidly expensive gifts in some cases, but I think most people will be happy to spend some time with family and friends. Mandy | |||

"All good here how are you doing? " I'm lucky enough to still be going to work, however it's been a very trying time emotionally. Though I always find Xmas like that! I know I'm fairing better than so many though so count myself lucky. | |||

"Its been a tough one having lost one family member to this virus,they being laid to rest on Friday and it will be a hard one! We also lost our beloved we dog too in May this year On the plus side a certain someone entered my life and will continue keep the smile on my face for quite some time . As they are saying a vaccine is coming things are looking a bit more positive so we just got to believe in that . Christmas is going to be a special one for us this year with those who mean the most to us ,its not the material things that matter but the people around . Be kind people & stay safe " You've all had such a rough time. I hope you remember to be kind to yourself too x | |||

"Like most people, its been a tough year. Two very close family members have died and the xmas dinner table will look a bit empty this year. However, im looking to embrace new changes in 2021. Im looking to start a new job, new projects and hopefully prepare my final steps to go travelling abroad. " I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope everything goes well for you in 2021 and you get to enjoy your travel adventures x | |||

"Absolute shitter of a year and a few stressful and worrying issues will be lingering into the new year. All out of my control though. Heid doon, arse up and get on with it. Nothing else for it. Suppose these times just remind you to savour the sweet moments in life that wee bit more." Aww lovely. I hear you. It's really pants. Virtual hugs xx | |||

"How are you doing? 2020 has been a bit of a shitty year. This is just a check in post to see how you all are? Xx " Thanks for asking. I am feeling incredibly shit. I'm not in a good place either physically or mentally. I used to be a positive person, and I understand the mindset you're supposed to take when you're in this position, but I neither have the motivation or energy. I can't remember the person I used to be, and I am constantly "down". I appreciate there are many people worse of than me. I hope they are handling this better than me. I honestly hope everyone else is doing well. I apologise for the self-pitying post. | |||

This whole situation takes its toll on people in so many ways and we all experience different things. Just because someone may in your eyes be worse off doesn't make your own feelings any less valid. Although I know we all often say those things. I hope you have someone to turn too xc | |||

However, I'm thankful of a job still and none of my family have had things bad CV19 wise. Onwards and upwards, particularly into the hills." I can understand that.

"every year of my life starts the same way it ends lonely, they also have been sad, boring, depressing." I think this time of year even without covid makes many people feel like that. Christmas brings all this expectation and pressure to be some amazing and wonderful time. For some of us and I include myself, it's actually just another day. I don't have a massive family. It's just me and my boys. And nothing makes you feel more single and lonely than Christmas or a trip to Ikea! I hope you find comfort somewhere and have people you can reach out to x | |||

"My year has had more ups and downs than a rollercoaster tbh I’ve been doing my usual running around looking after everyone as much as I can to keep myself sane and not have time to think and now everyone’s in a good place and no longer needs me the dark grey cloud has appeared and I’m struggling to get away from it, there looks to be no escaping on the bike so I’ve been hiding in my bed which is never great but I just sleep and sleep so don’t even notice the days passing by tbh most of the chritmas presents are already bought for the eldest and youngest a it’s always the middle one that’s the hardest but tbh my kids have never wanted for anything so he would be happy with cash my decorating is getting there very slowly I reckon another few days when I’m motivated and I’ll be able to put the decorating crap away on the shed and get the crimbo decorations out. I am fortunate I suppose that I don’t really have any family it’s just me the kids my mum and bro, so haven’t really had the worry of losing anyone personally but know a lot of people who have this year there will be less seats at the Christmas table purely because I’ve cut ties with friends who were toxic so that’s actually a blessing and it will be a small cosy dinner this year if my new dining table arrives that is xx I am looking to do some volunteering again over the next while even if it’s being on the end of the phone for people on their own or delivering folks shopping again whatever keeps the body and mind active, nothing worse than a person with anxiety and overthinking with nothing to do " Really sorry to hear you're struggling right now. I'm glad you have some projects though to keep you busy. That will help. I'm sure no matter what you get your children they will be happy. Good luck with finishing the decorating and kudos for being so organised! X | |||

"This year, like most folk, has been a very different and hard one. Business-wise, it's been pretty awful, saved slightly by doing a roaring trade on face masks, and the government's self-employed grant. I've been over the water only twice, instead of the usual five times, and I've been 'up north' three times instead of five. Otherwise, mainly worked from home. Personally, it's been completely barren, and finally got rid of a lingering and abusive relationship. At home, life has gone on as fairly normal, that's unexciting, and Christmas and New Year will be the largely non-events as usual. So.......it's looking forward to Spring 2021, surely to goodness things will be a lot better by then, and Boris and Sturgeon will have sacked there supposed 'experts' and wakened up to the fact that lockdowns simply don't work." Well without the experts I doubt we'd have the positive prospects of the spring to look forward to | |||

But end of the year is looking brighter, heading back to work next month and potentially a new house " Hope your shoulder has healed. Best of luck with your house move x | |||

"When it comes to finding someone I have lost all faith seems women just don't like me that way when it comes to christmas I just lock myself in my bedroom and leave the rest of the family to it." It's a cliché but sometimes things do happen when you stop looking. I do understand how you feel though. This will be my 11th Christians single. However maybe you need to take some pressure off of yourself to meet someone and find other things to make you happy too. There's a whole world of possibilities out there | |||

"Well things could definitely have been worse. I am lucky that I still have a job and my friends and family are all still healthy. I'm a Xmas lover so the tree is up early and the cosy nights on the sofa with fairy lights are bringing me joy. It would be nice to have someone to cuddle up to though - maybe next Christmas " I think fairy lights have therapeutic properties! Im glad you're all well. Hope you have a lovely festive season xx | |||
