I am living alone and so very much want to move to the town my daughter lives in. I want to bide my time until I can move. The situation I find myself in has driven my actually batty.

I have no one to spend Christmas with this year! Help!!!
 

Welcome to the forum... where do you call home ?

You've come to the right place , there's many here who will be alone at Christmas this year...

I think I read that people are happier when they live near family, so that is a good future plan you have to move to your daughter's town.
My daughter has been rescheduling having me over since Thanksgiving, it was finally set for next Tuesday. Then last night her conscience got to her and she confessed she lied about her boyfriend having been vaccinated. After several hours of back and forth text messages it was agreed that he would do a quick covid test before I came over. But I made a snarky comment in a text about my opinion of people who won't get vaccinated, and she got angry and said then she'll just leave my presents outside her door and I could come get them.
So, I guess I'm alone too, we will just have to keep each other company here on the forums!

I just spoke to my older half sister, who is 83 or so. Anyway, she said she is “spending Xmas alone” and no one is making her do otherwise. 😂. I guess different strokes for different folks. However, I am more than willing to send you my husband so I can spend Xmas alone. 😉

But, you do not have to be alone. A lot of us will be here 😊. Always ready for a conversation about anything at all. 😃

As usual, it depends on the family. I’ll be here on Xmas. Husband will be barricaded in his room as usual, watching black and white cowboy movies, wishing he was John Wayne. 😂😂😂

That was my attitude last year and i spent the whole day listening to detective story podcasts. I’m having a hard time planning this year.

Find a place where a free Christmas dinner is provided. You could help serve, if able, or just join for the meal. It might be better than sitting at home. Sorry to hear that you will be alone.

A great idea Michael, but if you are unable to do this Sharry, why not buy some lovely treats, stay home in the warm and spoil yourself for the day ? Log on here and spend some time with us as well

I told my doctor that I was not putting on a new Libre2 sensor until after January 1. I am having treats, in moderation, ice cream, pie, Xmas candy, carbs, sesame balls, I LOVE sesame balls; and my blood sugar can take a flying leap-which it has 😂. Gone up quite a bit.

My doctor said “well, then, shall we skip your A1C test?” YUP. 😂

Due to the pandemic and the new variant, it's Not as easy or as safe as most other years to join in a dinner with strangers .. or help serve at a crises centre... :(

my dd is very irritating.. she said she's coming after Christmas day... when asked to be more specific she won't... she seems to think I have nothing better to do than to wait in for her and all the dogs.... Yesterday I asked her to be more specific.. after all she wants me to bake palmiers for her, and they don't keep very well so not something I can bake in advance... and STILL, she wouldn't say whether she's coming on boxing day or later.. :rolleyes:
 
Well I am alone too. Just another day for me .
Have been for the last four years. Family here ,there , everywhere. Contact is by email, texting, phone call.
I find the younger generation ( grandchildren in particular) not so involved with the season as the years go by.
Children definitely do make it a happier time.
Still, we must keep it cheery eh!
