Well said. I especially relate to the part about not missing family but wishing to have a family. If you were not so fortunate to build a new family or a solid group of friends, it is better to largely ignore Christmas.
It’s nice to get together with my large family, we don’t get to hangout together very often. It can get pretty loud at times. My European background definitely has some High decibel levels, lol. All good though, good times 🎉🍷 🌲 🎅
We did a combo Thanksgiving/Christmas with our sons because of their work schedules. We’re Scots-Irish mostly; lots of laughter and talking. Food turned out great. No drama. We like it that way. This Christmas (actual date) I’ll cook just for me and the hubby. Ham on the menu. ❤
Im old as you, practically dust. No fam i keep in touch with left. I will be santa clausin it this year, delivering stuff to walmarts, costcos, you name it. All of you owe me.milk and cookies 😀
All loud..although since our mother passed we have remained close My sister and I meet for lunch 2,3 times a week.i work for my brother.and 2 sisters that live out of state call and text regularly.im the baby at 62 but I call and visit them regularly as well.❤😊
When the kids were young it was split. The boys were boys, projectiles, wrestling the usual boy stuff. Our daughter was the noisy one, loud, border obnoxious. This year is going to be quiet. No one is coming over as far as I know. It's just my son and I. The rest all have lives of their own. There used to be noise, so I'm looking forward to quiet!
This year as far as I know I'm by myself. Because of sisters, nieces and nephews in-law situations we rotate around. Next year is our family Christmas again. Last year we had 16 family and a few stragglers. It was very loud. This year I may tag along or just do some dropping by to other family. Depends on the weather. I already have a turkey and stuffing pie to cook so I'm good either way. One day I will learn how to answer a question in one word or sentence instead of a paragraph. lmao
Only 4 of us. All very quiet We celebrate Jesus at Christmas and it's not about the presents, Christmas trees, food etc, it's about Jesus. God sent his Son into the world to save us from our sins.
@@Philipbuono77 Not at all your the one who is putting your life out there. Seems you blame everything on everyone else. I don't believe you were ever a body builder. When you told us the your cousin was your mothers power of attorney and that he got stuck with a big bill from your mother. Your mothers estate would have to pay that bill. Not her power of attorney. You really are not bright.
Christmas is rough, it reminds you how alone you are. I don't miss my family, but I miss having a family. Christmas is just another day.

Spending a quiet Christmas alone.😊
Celebration instead of Obligation 🎄
Party On Phil!
Um I'm not invited to family ones. But there's a older lady in my complex that invites a few over only for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
No family; no problems.
Same here. More than content to spent the day alone. 🎄

No family gatherings. No noise and if you do not like it leave
I just need to catch my breath.
Christmas by myself this year.
