Are you looking forward to Christmas ?

I'm not.

I've never been a party person. I'm 69yrs old now, but even when i was younger, i think i felt odd not wanting to join in the festivities. But i think even more so now. Especially in the evenings when i'm sitting here alone. I've been going to bed earlier and earlier. I think about it, i wish things were different. I think if i had known what i know now, when i was younger, i'd have lived my life so differently

  • For a good many years, I would really look forward to Christmas Day. It was the only opportunity I got to see relatives that I didn't mind spending time with, along with their adorable four-legged companions. The issue I had was more with Boxing Day, as it just seemed so boring in comparison, along with the knowledge that I would have to wait another 12 months before I would next get to see much-loved relatives (and their pets).

    Worse than Boxing Day is New Year's Eve. I've always disliked it. Not because there's an expectation on me to participate in any NYE celebrations, but more because I have a tendency to reflect on things that have happened (or have not happened) during the past year, and an overriding feeling that the new year is unlikely to be an improvement.
