"Hi all, posting this to see if there are others in similar situation. I’ve never been alone for Christmas before, always had family around me. Due to circumstances, this year I will be spending Christmas Day alone. I’d anyone else in this situation or have done it before in the past? I don’t fancy cooking a big Christmas dinner for myself lol" I've spent the last ten year's on my own on Christmas day,both my parent's passed away year's ago,my brother's and sister's all live outside dublin with their own families,but I do visit my ex and my adult son and daughter for breakfast,exchange gifts Christmas morning,all my friends are married with kid's all do their own thing,but im used to my own company,im not complaining,im fit,healthy,have a good job etc,so it's me and my guitar for Christmas day,food,drinks im happy,but I will go to a friend in wicklow after Christmas for a few day's,I know it's hard for some people,but it really doesn't bother me,so for anyone who is alone on Christmas day and feeling down I will be here for anyone who wants a chat,cheering up on Christmas day!! | |||

"I've worked many a Christmas & spent many a Christmas Day home alone by choice. I have to admit that I wasn't looking forward to doing Christmas alone this year though. When I do Christmas alone I spoil myself - favourite foods & drinks, pampering, reading, movies. " ditto I've spent year's working Christmas but this year I've 3 weeks off all over Christmas and new year's,as I've worked so hard all through the lockdown in my job, | |||
| |||
"I have actually decided to work all christmas this yr so that i wont be on my own " im sorry to hear that | |||
"Sorry to hear that. Fab does be busy out on xmas day so definitely come on and chat with people on the forums or PM. Remember it's just one day marketed to be a certain way. Do something nice for yourselves and have a chilled day getting lost in a movie or book or a nice walk. Hugs! Mrs x " Great advice and good stuff. I will be in here Christmas and shoot the shite if anyone will want | |||

"I've been on my own the last 10 yrs for christmas but this year is really tough for me and it's nothing to do with covid " Can I call down for a coffee. XX | |||

Went to bed late, up late, lazy breakfast, chatted with a good few again in the foyer and checked out late in the afternoon.
It was extremely good value, enjoyable and you could do your own thing.
Looks like they are not offering this due to Covid so am going to ring around tomorrow.
Maybe we should have a 'single and available in such and such a hotel' section - who wants to join me
Company would have made it all even more enjoyable. | |||

"Sounds great. Where was this hotel?" Sligo - I actually got a cancellation last year as they were all booked out ages in advance. | |||

"What a horrible year I swear I can't wait too see the back of it. Lost my best friend last month who I was with everyday seeing him slowly die. He was my dad but my best friend he was 57 when he left me. Now I'll be on my own this Christmas I always do up the house with lights an stuff and this year they are still in the attic. My life has completely changed. I don't know what I'm going too do this year I really don't know I haven't moved outside the house since last month I have no energy too do anything at this stage. Even in my sitting room I still have the flowers that where sent too me can't even throw them out. That shows how I am atm. Sorry for being negative or putting an awkward comment on here. Stay safe everyone and have a good Xmas " you still in the grieving progress. Why don't you think what would your dad do or say to you right now. The Christmas I lost my mum, I did put the tree up cause in my head that's what she would tell me to do... start today go out for a long walk and clear your head and say dad I'm putting my tree up today just for you. Take each day as it comes and it will get easier . | |||

Take each day as it comes and it will get easier . " I'm absolutely heartbroken I know it will eventually calm down but I did try the walk didn't get very far I just stead in the garden doing work. But it was so hard too look around in the estate and seeing everyone's lights up an what not. But on a positive note I did take the tree down an out it up but that's all unfortunately just not putting lights up outside. It's gonna be hard Christmas this year mam is gone 5years and now me poor dad definitely gonna be the hardest ever. Thanks though I do appreciate it what you guys have said and thanks too those for the PM's XX | |||
