Feeling Lonely at Christmas? Pop in here... :)

what????

No snow, no Christmas PERIOD

So much pressure to socialize. It's unnatural and uncomfortable. Like the purgatory of having to deal with robocallers who invade my serenity. I prefer hibernation.

Merry CHristmas, wake up, eat an apple with the dawn. Pz.

This will be the year of no Merry Christmas for those that have lost everything in the fires here or the floods and storms else where.

I doubt many of the firefighters and support personnel will be having a merry effing Christmas while doing their utmost to save someone else's home/farm/bussiness.

I doubt those in emergency housing will be having a very Merry Christmas either.

Yes, this Littlepixie is feeling somewhat overwhelmed leading upto this Christmas.

I bet they still burn thousands of dollars that could buy fire fighting planes and equipment with the New Years Fireworks over Sydney Harbour!

I used to love Christmas. But as the years went by without being able to have children and my birth family died off, I find each year sadder. I have a spouse,who also sadly has no extended family. An injury cost me my job a few yrs ago and the loss of income has put us at the poverty line. We have each exchanged $100 and then put it back into bills the last few yrs. My spouse does not seem to care, but I cry more every year....

Thats sad. But at least you are not alone.

So many have no one.

It's been the same for about 10 years now. Family away and no actual friends really. I don't get down much anymore, but u sometimes can't help thinking about the days of old when things were more 'jolly'. LOL .... I just try to remember the reason for the season which is the birth of our Lord Father God, and thank him for everything - and pray for the health and safety of family members. Then I cook a few viddles and carry on as usual. (and think about where the sales will be the day after.)

Happy holidays everyone!
Peace and luv.

Lost my husband to Hep C a couple of years ago. My in-laws are the only family really, and they are some distance from here. I'll call them if they don't call me first.
I wouldn't call it lonely, but a little sad this year.

But, I put up the lights outside. Decorated the Christmas tree inside and did the usual decorations around the apartment. I and the fur-babies are going to have a turkey dinner and have nice day. The Christmas lights and decorations still touch the kid in me. I still love the Christmas season.

Merry Christmas all!

I'll be spending Christmas with my adult children.

But it will never be the same without my husband. RIP

Lonely yet not alone.

If you’re lonely or sad at Christmas, why not seek out Christ? It’s truly the reason for the season. I’ve been blessed with craziness, big messes and a lot of noise during my Christmas years - and I love it. I understand not everyone has that, but Jesus loves you and calls to everyone!

Been with a girl for just over a year. Our anniversary was on the 4th. Her birthday was about one month before, on 11-10. I bought her a few things- a giant stuffed dinosaur, a bottle of single malt scotch, and a set of whisky rocks. She likes that stuff.

We met in paramedic school. We didn't talk much. Nearing the end of the first semester, my other partner failed out. I always thought she was cute so I decided to go for it. We studied together every single day for months. We bonded. We became boyfriend and girlfriend.

We traveled, we went on adventures. I really, really thought she was the one. About a week ago, she said the pressure of our relationship was making her unhappy. She asked for a week off. I agured at first, but I came to the conclusion that there was no talking her out of it. So, I begrudgingly agreed to the week off. I KNEW that she was going to break up with me.

One week later, she did.

We both passed our national registry exam months ago in September. She waited to apply to jobs for a while for me. I had to wait because I'm worried about failing a urine analysis. She waited for about two months. I still couldn't pass. She applied and got the job. Im still unemployed.

She moved on. Here I am a few days before Christmas. Totally alone. No family. No job. I guess no one to blame but myself,

Im 38 years old. I've never been married and I have no children. In my 20s I suffered from depression so severe that I lost nearly a decade of my life. For the first time in over a decade I had that gut feeling of panic and hopelessness I haven't felt since. That was yesterday.

I know you don't know me but my name is Michael. If anyone is reading this, please, please pray for me because I feel so bad and there's no one around to help me. Please, just wish me happy thoughts.

I need them now more than ever.

Think that's bad, try having a birfday on the first of January. Everyone in the world is celebrating... but you. Hahaha! Enjoy!

My ex roomate and sister is the 30th and 31st. I'm stuck away from home for "legal" reasons basically living at work and no one in my family for the most part gives a damn.

Merry Christmas CP :)

I'll be on my own. I will be fine.

I don't do RCC Christmas anymore. It's perverted by consumerism and materialism, also one religion for all Globalist ideas a la Bergoglio.

I always preferred Russian/Greek, Byzantine, Syrian, Armenian, Churches of the Orient Christmas.

I'm sorry. I know that life doesn't always turn out how we thought. But, in that, there rise new opportunities. How about volunteering over Christmas?
I don't have anyone either. At least I'm working so I'll be working over Christmas and new year. I didn't even get paid before Christmas so I have to do what I can. Bought some good stuff, decorated. Bought myself some nice stuff cheap.
The best thing that happened is, people are nicer. God was born. Yes I'm a Christian. See a good show, I watch the mass from rome probably gonna have to do it at work as sleep shift. But it doesn't matter. Its alot of peace watching. I remember one year I was depressed, watching really helped.
Pray. Read the bible. Remember there are evil out there entities etc that are fighting against God's angels but he's also fighting for and with you.
Call on him. Michael too.
If you need someone to talk to leave your email or so forth. You're not alone, even though it feels like it. We are many in the same position. Think about how many there are that sit there through horrible dinners. Think about those in worse situations, and see how they feel what you can do. We are blessed, even though we can't see it. We have food, roof, clothes, heat, and Internet. It's alot to many.
We're here. We're with you. We're in the same boat. All of a sudden, it will look better. Soon, it will be spring.
Get yourself a good movie, some good food, talk to God. Go out for church. You will feel better. If you need to talk, I'm here.
God did this for us. Service to others is the solution.
My relatives are dead, most of them. My parents are divorced, with their own, new, but old partners. My brothers live far away, so do my parents. My parents are old. They are all narcissists. I come out from a abusive relationship, which was fine for many years prior. Godlike, just not completely.. There. Then, turns out abusive. Met him late. So, there you go. Yes, you can of course always adopt, etc. But I don't think it's right for the children to have only me. So, no. Besides, wouldn't make it alone.
So, no childhood Christmas picture card ever. That's what I had. With uncles, aunts, grandad, big dinner, loads of presents, loads of snow. 13 people. My mother said it was only work and that she almost couldn't cope. No help from my father. So, seen from that perspective, I guess we should be happy. If Christmas is only work and stress, it's not worth it. Not that way at least. It's about God, not that. How many doesn't spend a fortune. Or just so tired. The grass looks always greener. It would actually be better if you had like a picnic. But so no for me, Christmas can never be Christmas again because I can never get it like my childhood. Even if I had the children etc my relatives are dead. And even if, I think that train passed.

merry christmas ..be here.. you won't be alone, i promise...

i'm volunteering at the homeless shelter but will have interwebs

Just another holiday enjoy it

Oh god that must suck! Funny though

I'm so sorry.
I use to look on houses the decorations when on my way to work, see who has the best one. I get this sense of stress from it all.

We all have the most wonderful gift of all just waiting for us to accept. Be Blessed!

that is funny.. my head ticks over on their electricity bill ;)

CP thought you had a wife? What happened if I may ask?

i do. i don't recall saying i didn't?

some idiot posted something to the contrary back in thread, but i fugured they were butt-hurt, so i ignored them....
