Hi nonova1 - I have had lonesome Christmases in the past, so I might be able to relate. Could you maybe go to a church service? I am not real sure what I will be doing on Christmas (if anything at all), but if you would like to, you can PM me anytime and I will reply when I can.

thank you. l have so much social anxiety I find it hard to attend church. I lost my dialysis partner 10 months ago. We lived together for almost 2 years. I can't get her off my mind.

So sorry to hear. My grandma was on kidney dialysis for about 15 years. It was not easy for her. I have social anxiety also so I know church can be intimidating especially if you don't already know anybody there. I should be home at least part of Xmas day (if not all). A lot of times I celebrate with friends on Christmas Eve and stay home on Christmas day. If you would like to chat (anytime, now, or then), I will still reply to you when I can.

I'll probably be alone this Christmas as well. I'm planning to do something, either a train ride, a cruise trip, or just staying home decorating my room and warm up some mulled wine. Bake a cake, brew some tea and enjoy them with a good book. Things like that. Perhaps play online games if I want company.

Unfortunately I can relate. I'm always alone.

Yes. And it's rough. I even booked a trip to see fam for the holidays this year but they all made plans since 💀 lol my husbands family aren't fans of mine. So I'll probably be stuck in an air b&b by myself...instead of home by myself while he goes lol. I'll be happy to bs with you. Maybe we can watch something and talk about or something.

Not what you're looking for?
