Being Alone At Christmas Reviews

You know, I didn’t really want to do this. I’m heading home to Aberdeenshire tomorrow, weather and the apparently rather inept Bear Scotland permitting, and though I had already indicated I would be absent over Christmas and New Year, that wasn’t quite true. I was home for one day in between, but ...  Read the complete review

I spotted this category this morning and thought that I might be well qualified to write in it! I really hope that I might be able to help at least one person. Christmas is a family time.

I will be all by myself on Christmas but unlike Thanksgiving it will be by choice. My so called family probaly will wonder what is wrong but why should this day be any more special than the 364 others that I am spending in misery and solitude?

For me touch wood Christmas is great, I have my husband and my daughter and the rest of the family. But, what about spending Christmas alone, mustn’t it be sad and awfully lonely.

Before come to United Kingdom to further my studies, in my home country I never celebrate Christmas. To be more precise, I have some drinks or perhaps having a BBQ with friends around that period but we were not exactly mean to celebrate Christmas - no Christmas tree, no turkey and of course no winter.
