Home For the Holidays? Check In Thread!

Hi folks,

Always a tough time of year for a lot of members in our community. Just wanted to start a thread for those who aren’t doing the family or friend thing this holiday season. It’s been a year to forget for most of the world but it’s always good to know that your a member of a community here that supports each other…

So. Over the next week or so feel free to drop by here and leave a note for others even if you have plans. I always like to say that together we make our worlds and it’s nice to know your not alone. So. If your anxious, lonely or even having a good time. Check in here and keep involved with our community. Usual rules apply of course :slight_smile: but otherwise the world is your oyster…

Dad and I will be delivering Christmas meals around town on Christmas Eve Day.

Will be home with dad and his girlfriend though I may not get together with my mom’s side of the family due to Covid so it may be a phone call instead to my grandma, mom, and a favorite aunt.

Dad and I are going to my sisters. Good spot and this year very quiet. All my brothers are hooked up and doing things with their girls…so quiet Xmas day. My sister usually invites all the extended family over for boxing day ( day after Xmas ). This year it’s so quiet. Lots of people have other family things on and with the covid it’s certainly a weirder world. …

Stay safe Peeps!

I have a fever and cold so I might have to spend Christmas at home alone.

There are elderly people at our family gathering and I don’t want to give it to them.

Wishing everyone a happy happy Christmas :christmas_tree: :two_hearts:.

I will be home alone. I’m in constant contact with my dear mum tho, and my twin always rings up to see how I am, so it won’t be too bad.

Christmas is actually warming to me now, stocked up on good food and had the flat properly cleaned, so for the next week I will be slobbing it in my pajamas on the sofa with a pot of tea on the go.

I’m quite looking forward to the peace! Lol

Great thread mate!

I think it’s good that we reflect on what we have this time of year, and show compassion and understanding to those who are in tough situations.

I’m starting to feel more of the Christmas spirit as the day draws nearer.

It’s been several Christmases now, and I’m getting used to it. I didn’t go to the Christmas party because of Covid19.

I have Thursday and Friday off work. My older sister is in Mexico now and my only family now is my middle sister (and to a way lesser degree, my nephew). My sister will spend Christmas morning with her friends or her new boyfriend. She’s having me over in the evening for dinner.

I’ll find something to do. Just to get out of the house and get some fresh air, Christmas morning I’ll pack some snacks and drive to the park. The goal is to walk but I might settle for just sitting in my car listening to CD’s or the radio.
