Alone for the Holidays
If there is anyone else out there alone during the holidays, let me know if you would like to share some posts or a conference call or a cyber arcade game or two. This isn't the first holiday I've spent with my fur babies, but it is the first I've spent in great company on the Planet. I just thought I'd see if there was interest in directly connecting with other folks who are riding it out alone.

Its gonna be my son and me pluss my fur child,why not touch base some how.
|
Im am on call Thanksgiving day. I will just hang out here, watch some movies, go to the gym. Give me a shout.
|
Thank you both. Let's get connected next week.

Other than watching the Macy's Parade, and making the furry ones dress up like squash and assorted cornucopia vegetables, I'm around. :-)
Looking forward to it. :thanksgiving::thanksgiving::thanksgiving: Quote:

I got an invite from a neighbor and someone that works for the same company as me, to come across the road for an early meal. We both have to be at our stores at 11:45pm for Black Friday. I wanted to go away for Thanksgiving and share a meal with friends I consider family, but with this dang job, it wasn't going to happen. I thought for sure, it was just going to be me and my rescues. Really though, except for the meal I'll share, it will just be me and them. Outside of work, I spend so much time alone, I don't pay a lot of attention to holidays anymore. They just seem to be another day in any given month. I'm kind of isolated where I'm living at the moment, so...I'll be around here, if anyone needs a friendly poster or post.
Let's not forget that some of us will be watching football....even if we go nowhere, football is a tradition, oh yes it is :) |
This will be the first year in my 29 years that I will not be with any family on Thanksgiving. They all decided to go to Lake Tahoe for the week, and I have to work, so I opted out. I am not sure what I am going too. I might have an orphan Thanksgiving at my house, or I might just veg out. It kinda sucks tho!!
|
Hey, those babies have to work a little for that great T-day meal they're going to get!
I hear you Starry Eyes. My family didn't decide to plan a get together until last weekend and after I could really make arrangements to travel to see them a good 12 hours away. Quote:

Do you think I could hook my father up with you guys for a conference call? Just kidding, but he's coming to stay with me for SEVEN FULL DAYS. I have no TV, no car I'd let him drive in the city, and nothing to do with him, day in and day out. I really wish I could set him up with some people--he's a lot of fun. For others. :rolleyes:
I hope you all have a nice holiday wherever you are. Hooking up people here is a great idea, Sonot. I think I'm going to haul Dad down to Chinatown for dim sum. He'll freak, but it's our tradition of 10 years so.... |
my sister in tuscaloosa, alabama may be alone for thanksgiving as well as christmas and that breaks my heart. if anyone is near there and would like to 'adopt' her on either of those days :) could you pm me please? love.
|
Dim sum - that reminds me of one of the great scenes in A Christmas Story (the Chinese, the duck, the cleaver, etc.) Seven days with Dad? Oh are you going to get to know each other. Better get those board games dusted off and ready. :-)
Thank you for the post, T, and sure I'll hook dad up with the conference call. :phonegab: Quote:
|
omg board games. maybe i'll do that. i'll be banging my head on the table but he'll sure enjoy them. i'll let him win.
:) |
Just a thought...for those of us with Skype or Yahoo Voice, we could get together in a room and do voice chat, karaoke, play a game etc. Hearing each others real voices would be real cool.:hangloose:

Just an FYI for anyone interested...
1st Annual Misfits Holiday Season Gathering - If you have no where to go this year (or just want to hang out and chill before facing family) contact me and come spend some time here in Wenatchee, Wa (Central Washington State). There will a warm fire going and plenty of food, drink, XBOXing, skiing (Mission Ridge), snowtubing (Leavenworth) and other activities happening. The fun starts December 23rd and continues through December 26th. Cheers!! |
I have chosen to work. I work 12p-830p Tues-Sat every week. Normally we would go to my sister's but my mom and older sis will be in VA for a cousin's wedding and my younger sis has to work as well, so I figured might as well get double time and a half for working.
|
I am trying to go into this holiday season without dreading it. This time of year is always rough for me. I am lucky that my parents live about 1.5 hours away. IWe will be having a low-key Thanksgiving and Christmas this year since my dad's been so sick. I will probably be around here quite a bit. I'll say hi! :)
:hk1: |
I will be spending my first set of holidays alone in at least 15 years. I have been dreading it. This thread is a good idea, I just don't know if I'll be full of holiday cheer. I'm feeling pretty bleak about it.
I've been seeking/looking into a few ideas for volunteering on the holidays. I'm hoping that helping someone else have a good holiday will make it more enjoyable for me. |
Organizations that feed the poor get SWAMPED on the holidays. They would welcome any and all help they could get on the holidays. Not only will you be, "paying it forward" and helping someone else, but it will give you company and be good for your soul.
