Spending Christmas Alone, Are You?

No, you know Christmas day falls on Thursday this year, and it's our school meeting day, so all the people in my office will celebrate it together, may have a big lunch at some luxious restrant, it will be our boss's treat.

I hope you will have a very relaxing Christmas vacation. I am married and have a child. So I am unable to have a quiet time everyday:) Perhaps we will have a dinner outside and then go to the department stores to see the Christmas tree. There is not a specific plan for it yet. I love China

i guess i have to celebrate it with my family as always...its like a tradition to us..

You gave me pause to think about what "alone" really means. I have never felt alone, even when I am by myself, which admittedly is a rare occurance. But truly, in this world of connectedness, who is really alone? You go to the remotest village in some off beat corner of the world and there are teenagers with cell phones. The internet is everywhere. To me, alone is being in complete darkness up in a mountain at least 10 miles from the nearest other person with no electricity, maybe, but then you look up and see a blanket of twinkling stars and in a second realize there is life everywhere and in no way are we alone. Ah, but I know what you mean, and yes, hubby and I (as we work and play together as a unit) hope to spend Christmas quietly at home...alone...sort of.

Yes, I m alone for holidays, I just don't have too many friends and the ones I have are busy spending time with their families.
