My husbands granny normally goes to her daughters at Christmas. This year she is going to New Zealand to visit her brother in law. Cue my husband and I offering to come over with our son and host Christmas at my mil house so Granny wouldn't be on her own. Granny friends offered to have her round. My brother in law is going to host Christmas for her as he lives just across the road so means she can stay in her house. She was lucky that she has loads of people around her.

Christmas can be really tough for people and anything we can do to make it less lonely for them is a must.

all I do is stare at a screen as I don’t get out of the house so yeah I’ll be doing the same as everyday at Christmas. My iPad doesn’t make me less lonely though..

I just hate that time of year, everyday is bad enough by Christmas is the worst

I think too much emphasis is put on loneliness at Christmas, the people who are lonely at Christmas are just as lonely the rest of the year.

I also think people confuse "being on own" with "being lonely" I am on my own much of the time, but never "lonely". When I'm "on my own" I'm in good company! Image

I may sound really selfish but I would be prefer to be on my own at Christmas but have a large family so is a real stressful time keeping everyone happy.

I sometimes say: "I'd rather be on my own, than not be on my own, wishing I was on my own". To explain to some who think being on own is worse than being in the middle of family feuds and fall outs, overall Christmas is more stressful for those who aren't on their own, many of whom can't wait for the new year, when the solicitors' offices are open again, and they can start divorce proceedings.

It is actual FACT that divorce proceedings starting in early January are more numerous than at any other time of the year.

It perhaps might sound selfish... but who cares!
