General Chat

Hello Evelyn

I won't be entirely alone as son will be here, but at some point I will also pop in on the board, as usual :-)

If you are by yourself on the day and will miss the traditional food, perhaps you can go somewhere for a Christmas dinner during the month? I was very tempted by the menu that the local senior citizens group sent round, the thought of someone else doing the cooking and a bit of a party atmosphere was appealing but I'm still a bit too young!. My friend does that though most years, and someone collects her, is there anything like that where you are?

On Christmas day if you are alone and not wanting to do a Christmas dinner, just choose something nice you like to eat, pick out the best of the tv, or read, phone a friend who might be in a similar position perhaps?

Come on here for a chat, about anything really, there will be someone who is also alone ... or making an 'escape' from relatives who are arguing over the tv remote :-)

Have found the thread at last I am not on my own at Christmas just wondered if I could help some one who is and felt a bit miserable about it, apparently not . every one is so organised and happy. That's good

Evelyn, I think there will be plenty of people who look in here at Christmas, perhaps they don't or can't post, but even if they are not alone may still be lonely, missing loved ones or the Christmases they used to have, so if you want to help just pop a post on the board and I am sure someone will appreciate it. :-)

What a lovely thought Evelyn. As Rose says, if you do have time to post on Christmas Day, it's bound to be appreciated.

On a practical level, if you have room to lay an extra place at the table a neighbour, or someone suggested by a voluntary organisation, might welcome the opportunity to join you.

Evelyn stick around and pop in and post, it´s always good to have people around.
