    I'll be on my own too.
    My first one on my own was odd because of the feeling of being expected to be around others.
    This year I'll be waking up, having some food., sticking Harry Potter marathon on napping and having more food.
    And generally be staying off Facebook and Instagram so I don't have too see all the people I know pretend to be in happy relationships and play happy families
    It's very much a good self care day. The outside is quiet if you wanted to walk and not be bothered by noise etc.

      Me too. Slightly by choice. My mother died in August and I don't want to make a big thing of it this year. I might get some Kopperberg in...

    Veggies mentioned: literally my safe food I eat every day, no matter what.
    Btw I'll be on my own too, not my first time. It's totally okay, I usually do whatever as any other day and eat deliciously

    I LOVE broccoli! I even have a plushie broccoli. It's my favourite vegetable after I developed a mild but still unpleasant allergy to raw carrots.
    My husband and I both discovered in 2020 that we really like a quiet Christmas at home. For most of my childhood, Christmas was spent charging around the city visiting all of the same family and all their dogs at 3 different houses for a day and a half... the family is not usually too overwhelming because we don't tend to be too loud or have too many conversations going at the same time, but it is a lot of visiting. And at home, I don't have to pretend that I like a bunch of food that I actually don't - the only parts of my extended family's usual Christmas dinner that I like are the turkey dark meat and the dinner rolls.

    The only Doctor I have ever met was Colin Baker at the Newcastle Theatre Royal in Newcastle upon Tyne back in June or July 1989 on the Ultimate Adventure tour. Nice chap, he was still in costume. He signed a poster for me(don't have it anymore sold it). I was just 14 years old at the time.

      Colin was the first Doctor I ever met, at a Comic-Con in 2011! Got a picture with him on my dads mobile at the time, so it’s about the quality of a potato 😂

      @@DanaAndersen I didn't have a film camera with me at the time. Wish I had. Would have been nice to have had a pic with the 6th Doctor. He still pretty much looked like he did when he played the Doctor. I told him i was sorry that the BBC treat him so badly and that his Doctor was so much better than the at the time current Doctor. Can't remember what he said.

    I work with someone who's a massive Doctor Who fan, and when you speak about seeing your favourite actors live, it reminds me so much of her speaking about seeing David Tennant on stage. She was just over the moon! I have never met anyone famous myself. Sounds like you've got your Christmas Day all planned, and I hope you have a really good one!

    As a primarily Welsh, Dutch, and Portuguese American, there's not a drop of Scandinavian blood in me, but nonetheless I do drink alone on special occasions 😂. And I do get wasted alone sometimes too. I see nothing wrong with it. I'm normally too much of a health nut to let the occasional solitary drinking occasion to actually become anything of a problem haha!

    I'll be there for the YT streams!
    This is my first Christmas alone. I've tried for years to join in with Christmas but I'm too burnt out this year. Frankly, spending Christmas with other people's families was always a bit triggering anyway.
    Would love to get drunk by myself with you guys.
    p.s. Your excitement at meeting Jodie Whitaker gave me second hand happiness goosebumps 😊

    I’ve been doing the whole season on my own, which suits me! I don’t even watch TV much. Best thing I ever done as I don’t have to maintain conversations about subjects I have little or no interest in.

    I'm spending Christmas alone too as my partner doesn't want me with him that day and my family is too far away :(
    Trying to think of something fun to do to distract myself. Good food and video games/movies maybe lol

    I LOVE drinking alone. I have way more fun. I get to be AS AUTISTIC AS I WANT and there is no one there to judge it. Even my inner critic fs off for the evening. It’s euphoric. “Don’t drink alone” might be extrovert specific advice.

    So happy you got to meet Jodie, however briefly! :) I get you with the whole, riding the high of good stuff that happened, definitely felt that after seeing Aurora live, but then also had to book tickets for the next time she's around to have that to look forward to. :p (Still over 5 months away...)
    The live streams honestly sound like a lot of fun. I'll be at partner's family for all of em, but don't know exactly what's happening when. If any of the streams overlap with the activity being just... Strictly come dancing or Only Fools and Horses Xmas special on TV I think I'll discreetly tune in to your stream on my phone instead lol. I feel reasonably confident you'll got more than 1-2 people hopping on, should be nice. :)

    I'll probably be busy cleaning on Christmas Eve, but I'll try to catch at least one of your streams if I can! Or I'll watch them not-live. I'll do my best. (I definitely won't catch the Boxing Day one live because I'll have visitors.)
    My best to Winter ❤

    Christmas is like a bad dream, eventually you wake up and it's all done with. At least you have your beautiful pussy cat. Mine is on the other side. I hope it isn't too stressful for you.
