In laws are coming over. We’re making lasagna, exchanging gifts and watching Christmas movies on tv

I’ll be here, alone. I plan on talking to family and friends, though. Until I can go without the extra external oxygen… that’s how it will be.
I plan on having mashed potatoes, mac n cheese, and stuffing. The pancreatitis …
I did so well at the Christmas dinner, that I wish I could do another close by. If not, I’m not complaining. I was with about 100 people for 3 to 4 hours, on oxygen, and my stepmom said I sounded like I was on cloud 9.
I used to work a full time job, manage a household, too, and was on the road or plane over the weekends. I used to cringe at the thought of having no plans.
Now, it’s the opposite.

Hope you have a pleasant holiday @JustTrish! Christmas dinner sounds great, I’m probably just gonna heat up something frozen that day.

I like to talk to my mom but she and my brother moved again so I dont know where and they changed their numbers. My brother threatened to shoot anyone if they told me anything.
I will spend christmas with my partner and in laws but that night I will be alone because my partner works thirds

I have no plans. My father in law is doing Christmas on the 24th and mother in law on the 25th. My wife is pissed at her sister so we aren’t going to either event.
I don’t know what my side of the family is doing. No one has said anything and I don’t want to ask so mums the word.
I will probably go to Waffle House. They should. Be open.

I’m extremely depressed so I will sit at home and do nothing.

hugs to all on the thread who need it and a firm handshake for those who prefer the formal thang.
The 25th is a ghastly unknown for me. I’d love to hike but I have a crappy back injury going on that may prevent me from hiking. For the 26th I have a sweet picnic planned with friends who need recovery-love after the onslaught of xmas day - they are being really kind & supportive which surprises me as I always expect to be rejected after I disclose that I come from an abusive family & therefore the 25th is just hard work.

Aww @77nick77 that makes me sad. You’re such a generous & upbeat guy on the forum, I don’t like to think of you spending the 25th alone. I thought you had family. You’re welcome to hang with me on the 25th online, we should make a thread for people who need to be online on the 25th, I’m guessing the time differences will be complicated but at least we can try.

No, sorry about that. I’m actually invited to my nephew and his wife’s house for a family gathering in the afternoon.

that sounds very cheerful and good @77nick77. Well done, you work hard & deserve a nice couple of days off with people you love.

I’ll be working 1pm to 5pm Christmas Eve and Day. Other than that, I’ll be alone. I have no tree or presents, and I have no one to buy a present for.

I’m going to my Mama’s to open gifts. I’m just looking forward to being with siblings and my mother.
I’m not really concerned about what presents I’ll get. Just thankful to be around family.
I might bring my camera over also, just to shoot a few photos and maybe shoot some video.
Big hugs to those who will be alone, or struggle on Christmas.
