I plan my day in advance and try to keep busy. It does not bother me being alone as long as my nearest and dearest are ok. I do however avoid facebook on Xmas day. This year my mum coming to stay for a couple of days so looking forward to it.x |

I will spend about 3 hours with family, lunch then chill for an hour and by that point my nieces kids will be at each other’s throats and I will retreat to the peace and quiet of my house.
It’s the way I like it  |

Unable to go and see my parents so I'm at home by myself this year. I did have someone in my bubble but he had to go down south last month. Xmas dinner and wine for me, I'll be fine |

Love all my me time do as I please don't have to suffer others peculiarities talk to friends if and when I please.
Can honestly say no doom or gloom in being alone though I guess it comes down to whether your comfortable with yourself  |

Remember if you need to talk to someone; Samaritans are there 24/7 on 116 123 (free)
I’m aware of the Good Morning Service who phone regularly to check in on people.
Other ideas that’s helped when I’ve been alone to keep mind occupied;
Clean house/that drawer you meant to get round to/ the chair that has all your clothes dumped on it - you know the one! 
Do the laundry (washing machine humming means there’s no silence in house)
Have a lazy bubble bath in the afternoon (why not?! )
Read the books you’ve been gifted/bought but didn’t have time.
Sort out clothes etc to donate when charity shops open.
Give your time to a local foodbank; or donate online if you can’t visit.
Drop a wee card to your neighbour for Christmas or pop one in the post for someone you’ve not connected with in a while.
Take up a new skill/hobby or get crafting and up cycle things!
Just know that there’s always someone to chat to; whether it’s here on fab or in the ‘real world’ and this year has been like no other, but we’ll get through it.
Love and hugs to everyone x
