Have you ever had one?

nope

Many.

I've always had family with me for Christmas.

But in terms of relationships, most of mine have been.

oh yeah. many. on one christmas in 1994 after my divorce when i lived in San Fran. i was too broke to visit distant family, so instead i volunteered at the Salvation Army soup kitchen. i felt totally sorry for myself until i spent the morning there, serving food. it was a huge eye opener.

if you're lonely on christmas, a fun thing to do is drive around to the shabby areas of town and drop off boxes with blankets and food, under bridges or anywhere you see someone sheltering in a cardboard box. you can buy a blanket or two at the thrift store for maybe two dollars, and canned food isn't very expensive. chocolate bars are always welcome too.

I bet it was. Even if your christmas isn't lonely but riddled with foolish non-sensical family drama it puts things in prespective helping somebody else who truly needs and appreciates it.



And to answer to OP, not yet.

Every xmas since and including 2003 I've been by myself. It gets a lot easier after awhile.

I spend most by myself over the past 20 years. My roommate/ex-boyfriend goes home to his parents (about 90 miles away) for Christmas. And since I live 1500 miles from my family, it's always me flying solo from 24-26th usually.

No, I don't like Banana Daiquiris.

Thankfully, no.

Same here.

No, thankfully.

Although, I'm sort'a looking forward to being "alone" one year so I can spend Christmas or New Year's Eve somewhere exotic.

Yes, I once spent Christmas alone in my unfurnished living room sitting on the floor eating Jack In The Box.
