I have to count my blessings, I know, because some people are on their own Christmas. I have often spent Christmas on my own too. Just that George now he is 90, gets so tired with so many people around.
My youngest daughter won't be here, as she is going to her girlfriends. The other two girls don't speak to her because she is gay. I thought that it was supposed to be the older ones that were considered narrow minded! so that is upsetting for me.
I hate Christmas, all that fuss for one day. Everything too materialistic these days. There are two day centres that we could have gone to and be picked up too, but the girls get upset if they can't come here, that is another dilemma! x Jenny

I have read that after losing someone close and dear to you, you should accept every possible invitation to be with people and in doing that you hope to find help to adapt to your life from now on. 

Christmas has become so hyped up - the expectation that everyone will get along well together and will have a happy happy time sometimes does work out but quite often it is less than ideal.  I think in your situation I would accept the invitation and look forward to having a nice time and maybe enjoy the company more than you expect.  However, you could keep in mind an excuse/reason for leaving if/when you feel you need to. 

It's good that your daughter has included you in the family get together - I hope she will not feel too stressed - maybe you could offer to help in some way, eg is there something you could prepare and bring along on the day?  You could also offer help like clearing dishes from table ready for next course - that way you are moving about a bit.

I hope you will have a lovely Christmas - and welcome to Chill 

Daisy

I do try to keep in mind what Christmas is really about but a wee bit of festive fun would be very nice too.


PS:  Just watching the news - Philippines - they won't have a wonderful Christmas to look forward to - kind of puts things in perspective doesn't it?

Television tells us how happy we should be and what it is like having family around you. To see this on a daily basis every where you turn must make it even harder.

I would love to be able to hold a giant Christmas so everyone could be with friends and enjoy the real meaning of Christmas.

Losing someone dear and not being able to face this time of year is so sad. It breaks my heart.

Thinking of those who will struggle this year.  ca99

Some 26 per cent of older people – the equivalent of 2.8 million in Britain – suggested that the festive season would not be a time of happiness this year.

It emerged that some 450,000 over-65s faced the prospect of Christmas alone while large numbers of also feared it “brought back too many memories of those who had passed away”.
