How about a thread for those on their own at christmas

If you are alone at Xmas and you want to have a really laugh out loud, this takes some beating 😂
I can’t count how many times I’ve watched it but it still makes me howl with laughing.

It's a classic! Thank you. The little girl with the alternative song must be in her early 20's now.

I always feel a bit sad for my friend and her partner. They always have Christmas alone. All their parents have passed away and she has no siblings and they never had children. He has one brother who he rarely sees.

She was brought up in a pub so was used to singing, dancing, merry people etc. She really dislikes Christmas but does make an effort to make it a bit festive.

I do what I want when I want and most years I have my Christmas meal the evening before. I had a scrumptious duck leg with trimmings and two glasses of wine. I thoroughly enjoyed it and slept like a baby. I only have one course.

It is very cold here but the sun is shining. It looks like July.

Good luck to all slaving over a hot stove, too exhausted to eat their own meal.

Living on my own and being a sloth has its advantages.

Mr J and I are on our own just the two of us, we certainly don't want people to feel sad for us. We have just got back from a wonderful meal at a local hotel, it was fantastic, no shopping, cooking, washing up just the way we like it. Now putting or feet up to watch strictly Christmas special Bliss!!!

I just love this. The reactions of the other children are worth watching - the little boy in blue (‘kingDUM’) and the two older girls with such sympathetic, tender smiles.

I believe that Charley and there’s a lot to be said for pleasing yourself. 🫶😻

MrB and I choose not to see other people on Christmas Day. This started over 40 years ago when we were unexpectedly snowed in and couldn’t make our planned visit to family. We had such a good time we’ve done it ever since! I wouldn’t say we’re on our own at Christmas though, we have each other. Sending love and best wishes for all those spending their first Christmas without a loved one xx

Charleygirl, great to hear you're ok!
Enjoy Christmas and sending you best wishes.
Would love to meet up again sometime in the new year .

Hello anyone who's checking in. Hope the day has had its joys, whether simple or spectacular. For me, less is increasingly more and I have enjoyed 'the less' today xx

Oh Petra,that is hilarious! Having been a primary school teacher and done numerous nativity plays,I never had one who sang with such gusto!!

loopyloo That would be a good idea. Such a pity our favourite store closed down.

That was laugh out loud funny Petra! Thanks for sharing
