    For those of you who celebrate it that is. Not alone because of travel stuff ups or whatever. If so, how was it and what did you do on the day?

        Thanks foldie but the last person that got my number on here to verify I'm a woman is apparently too scared to use it. And I'm actually just curious with this thread. Since I'm stuck here for Xmas now I'm debating between spending it with friends and their family and worrying that I'll be imposing or just saying stuff it and spending it alone with my son since he's too young too understand it all anyway.

          If you are afraid you would be imposing, spend Christmas alone with your son. Read him a book, keep him by your side and entertained all day. Might be the best Christmas of your life if you focus on you and him - instead of being alone. Best Wishes.

                  If they had races here on Xmas day I'd actually consider it since my son received a membership on the day he was born from the one I'm a member of. It'll probably be over 100 degrees anyway since it'll be the dead middle of summer so I think even taking my son to the beach will be out.

                            Yeah I have before. Best advice is to avoid watching typical TV movie channels because they have all those "feel good" christmas movies which generally don't help. Great thing is over the years more and more stores and places in general are open so obviously it doesn't feel as important as it used to to me years ago.

                            I also in the past have made an effort to cook myself a good dinner, rent a few movies and just make a nice quiet day out of all of it and maybe watch some NBA.

                            Like others I have also spent some time at the casino, probably one of the slower days of the year so it is nice not having to deal with tons of idiots playing blackjack/poker.

                            Hell the past 4 years I have not even had a christmas tree on christmas lol. this year things are changing though God bless.

                              Thank you my darling. The same to you as always.

                              And thank you to those who have replied. I was really worried that I'd be the only person to ever have gone through this but y'all have totally made me feel better. And very cared for. So thank you again. Xo

                                Yeah, I can imagine that would suck a bit. Even though we have a few invitations to go places I am just really dreading the whole watch other people open presents and try to make you feel included when you know you really aren't thing. Even worse if they do what my parents used to do when they would welcome anyone who would be alone to our house and overcompensate by buying heaps of gifts for them to open that were never appropriate. I just don't want to experience those awkward moments where people are pretending to care when you open your gifts or you're having to explain to late arriving guests who you are again.

                                    Don't really celebrate it, but last year I did spend it alone.

                                    Got hammered watching/betting on the 5 back to back NBA games and playing Modern Warfare 2. Woke up about 10am, starting drinking at noon, couldn't see shit by 7pm, played until I passed out in the third quarter of the Blazers/Nuggets game about 11pm.

                                          Enjoy the time with your son. I plan on teaching my kids that Christmas is about giving and dropping off some gifts to families who are in need.

                                            Why don't you go to the beach for Christmas Shari? Isn't that what Australians do in the summer? Put your best bikini and get a nice tan and I'm pretty sure you will have a good time frolicking in the sun!

                                              My Mother still does that. She is already pressing me for a list of who will be invited. Lots of people here don't have family close by. It shouldn't be too akward though, we usually have plenty to drink.

                                                  Yes Shari, Yes I have.


                                                  Now I don't have a son to spend the day with me. If I did have a son, that would be a good Christmas, if it were just me and him, he would be all I need to make it a happy christmas

                                                  Ok this story takes place 4 years ago, while I was studying down at the University of Illinois. Finals had been over with for about a week, and I decided to stay down there with my boyfriend, until the 22nd of December. We had a apartment in Champaign and it was my boyfriend and 2 other girls(3 bedrooms, of course the b/f and me together) Well things were going great, my roomates had gone home for the holidays, and it was just me during the days, until my boyfriend got off work, and would come home. During the days, I'd just sit around and masturbate, of course I'd do it all over the apartment, since I was alone. I'd normally start off at breakfast, I'd pour myself a bowl of cereal(frosted flakes) and then out of the corner of my eye, i'd see the box of cereal, and tony the tiger just eyefucking me. Then of course, I start thinking all perverted and thoughts of how big tony's tiger cock was, and if he was possibly inbred and had 2 cocks. I'd wonder if he knew tucan sam (froot loops) and if they would have a problem tag teaming me. Next thing I knew, I was on the ground with a banana and a bottle of honey, just abusing my cleanly shaven vagina.

                                                    The first year I moved down to Florida from Ohio, my flight on Xmas Eve got cancelled because of Snow up in Pittsburgh and I got stuck down here for the holiday. It wasnt that bad, more of a pain in the ass actually because I spent about 75% of the day on the phone with family and friends who kept calling from home. Found out one of my fraternity brothers had a lot of family about 1/2 hour away and hooked up with them for dinner and a few drinks around 4. After that I found a strip club that was open and chilled there for a couple hours. Found a girl I had already met in Florida working there and ended up hooking up with her for a while after she got off (she was down by herself too). All and all, not the worst, not the best. Weird not being around family though for the first time. Even in the military if you didnt go home for the holidays you were always surrounded by people in the same position as you. This would have been a lot better if I already knew more people down here, but what can you do. Sounds like you have a kid with you, which should be all you really need. Plus you get to play with all the xmas toys with no one around to make fun of you for it.

                                                      Yes I drank my way through it roughly 9 years ago.

                                                      It really wasn't that bad - I am just easily content and found joy in football and alcohol

                                                      I do enjoy family and friends and all but a day clear of all obligations is pretty sweet any way you slice it imo

                                                        The first 3 years that I lived in Costa Rica, I spent without my family, and it was a little weird, but I have a group of American friends that also live here, and we would just all hang out together on Christmas. It wasn't so bad. Nothing will replace family, but at least I wasn't 100% alone. That would be really weird. At least you have your son, though, and that's all that really matters.

Finals had been over with for about a week, and I decided to stay down there with my boyfriend, until the 22nd of December. We had a apartment in Champaign and it was my boyfriend and 2 other girls(3 bedrooms, of course the b/f and me together) Well things were going great, my roomates had gone home for the holidays, and it was just me during the days, until my boyfriend got off work, and would come home.

                                                            I've spent a couple alone. Too much hassle traveling to see family.

                                                            I just spent the day getting fukked up and watching sports/gambling. Not a bad day really.

                                                            Only problem is that a lot of restaurants and stores are closed, so stock up before then.

Even though we have a few invitations to go places I am just really dreading the whole watch other people open presents and try to make you feel included when you know you really aren't thing. Even worse if they do what my parents used to do when they would welcome anyone who would be alone to our house and overcompensate by buying heaps of gifts for them to open that were never appropriate. I just don't want to experience those awkward moments where people are pretending to care when you open your gifts or you're having to explain to late arriving guests who you are again.
                                                              Just tell the friends you might make it over without a commitment and show up late so they will not buy you any gifts. Christmas is obviously important to you or you wouldn't be worried about spending it alone. Just being around other people that are celebrating should make it more enjoyable for you. Get over the thought of being imposing and believe that your friends will truly want to have you there to join the celebration. Even if there are some awkward moments, spending time with people close to you is better than sitting at home and thinking about what everybody else is doing.

Got hammered watching/betting on the 5 back to back NBA games and playing Modern Warfare 2. Woke up about 10am, starting drinking at noon, couldn't see shit by 7pm, played until I passed out in the third quarter of the Blazers/Nuggets game about 11pm.
