"Normally work it, prefer the extra money tbh. Off this year... It'll be stressful, noisy, grandkids over excited and folk falling out "

"I think restaurants should have a captain’s table, a long table which can be booked by single people to meet others… thoughts ? "
Xmas at pubs is ££... We've done it in the past, and it was a well overpriced, miserable affair!
Can only seeing it be worse for folk on their own to be honest? |

Then an extension of the idea would be for singles it’s normal run of the mill pricing perhaps ! |

Serving staff don't want to be there themselves? Even on double time, unless they opt in?.. So, it's here's your plate without a smile. And no way are pubs gonna cut their mark up for Crimbo 
It's a nice idea though |

I take your point but somehow I think there are lots of nice people out there but we often don’t give them an opportunity to be nice |

If they're working on min wage, and also wanting to spend Christmas day with their own family?... They probably don't want to be 'that' nice? |

"First Christmas for a couple of years I won't be alone, Christmas dinner at my new partner's house with her family.
Sadly I haven't got out of cooking the Christmas dinner "
Was that a new partner or a new house ?? |

"I am. Most of my family are gathering at my sisters, 30 miles away, but I go back on shift on Boxing Day and don't want too much hassle or drama before I go back.  "
So you can’t really be bothered fair enough ?? |

If you're not looking forward to Crimbo alone OP, it's probs too late this year. But next year you can offer to volunteer at your local soup kitchen/food bank, and feel part of something. There's so much out there! Noone should feel alone come Christmas x |

At present. Alone for dinner on Christmas day. Have been invited to go out to female friend’s house late afternoon , evening. May not happen as her children have bad colds . So just have to wait and see on Christmas day if children are ok enough for me to visit. |

I am actually not alone but I don’t enjoy Christmas that much. Funny you should mention helping out… I called my local food bank a couple of weeks ago to offer my assistance but they never called me back ! |

It's the time of year! They'll be overwhelmed with help now! But please do call back after the seasonal period. It'll drop off then |

Over the years I’ve spent more Christmases on my own than I have in company.
Really doesn’t bother me, I work for 4 or 5 hours in the morning and then go home to a slow cooked dinner that’s ready the minute I walk in the door, whatever time I get there.

Alone. Child forsook me for their dad (I'm not doing presents this year as we went to Disney in Sept so child has gone where they will get presents!).
Was looking forward to some fun with a guy I've been chatting with. Recovering from a chest infection whilst raging horny. Not the best combo! |

This is a great idea. Maybe fab should start a matching game for any singles again next year, we could hook up, and be ‘Christmas Buddies’ |
