Solitude can be quite refreshing. Long walks with your thoughts, if you are good company to yourself.

Beautiful pic.

I think I just may spend it alone this year.
Kinda tired of the fam right now

I'll be spending a white Christmas.

And not just because I'm white.

And also not just because my sister-in-law's last name is White.

I'll be in the mountains of New Mexico!

honestly, with all the hustle and bustle the holiday brings, I look forward to the day after Christmas...traditionally for me, that's a full day alone...I always visit some family grave sites that day and much like Herman said, I spend the day within my own thoughts...kinda cleanse my mind in anticipation of the new year....

yeah, everyone's working
but i have a date a few days after so

Nope, but the crowd is decimated this year. My aunt will celebrate with her dad in Germany and many from the oldest generation are prevented from coming because of health problems. I guess I knew that year would eventually come, but it's still sad now that it's happened. Escpecially since there are almost no kids in my family to brighten things up.

Are you going to Taos?

Dude, there's not that much there to begin with. If you do that you'll be totally devoid of a brain.

I spend it with my cousins. Then I go home....by myself. But it's okay.

Don't buy into that bullshit that you are not perfectly alright without a partner. We are forcefed that bullshit our whole lives with terms like Prince Charming, Mr Right, The One For Me.

Why limit yourself? I have lost my first bf, grew apart from the second and every other attempt at a new relationship with other men may have failed, but I have learnt from every one of them.

Life is beautiful and as hard as you make it yourself.

I totally agree with you! Lonely to me is comfortable.

I'm hoping this would be my last lonely Christmas. Even though I don't really celebrate it.

alone on Christmas sounds good.....

PEJ said:

Yeah, I'm being melodramatic. Since I'm an only child I'm used to being good company to myself. I agree PEJ.

Herman. I totally agree with you too. It's so funny because I thought the older I got my standards would get lower in finding someone. They're actually higher. So I'm good right now.

I will

I won't be alone on Christmas, but I might be a bit more lonely than lately. It seems to magnify it for me. Actually it seems to magnify it for most people! But I had a break up before Christmas quite a while ago, and I'm not quite over those reminders... a few more years maybe

I will.

I will....





But then my boyfriend promised to come over at the butt crack of dawn after work to spend a little time with me. He's so sweet for willing to risk sleep for me..

Yup.

alone, but not lonely

Yes, and I love it!

I said I'd gotten was use to it but I don't think I'll ever get use to it. at least not in the same way I've gotten use to doing all the other things I do by myself.
