so sorry- those of us with military families spend lots of holidays with out each other- but there are always folks around in the same situation to hang out with.........If I lived closer you would be welcome here!

Oooh, I like the idea about a little camping trip. That would be awesome.

I agree with volunteering. There are so many people out there, nursing homes, hospitals, shelters, etc. They all can use the help. You always get more back than you give too.

Alot of people I know do group bike rides or runs on Christmas and New Year's Day. That always sounded fun to me.

And the movies. Movie theaters are open on Christmas Day and New Year's Day. I can't even remember the last time I was at a movie theater. I think if I had Christmas Day alone, I would go see a movie.

And I would spend lots of time hiking or running, exploring.

Let's get together for coffee while you're off!

I am sorry Jess...wish I was closer to you so we could at least meet for coffee! I've spent far too many Christmas holidays alone and know exactly what you mean. Hopefully something will work out and you will be able to spend some time with friends.

(((Jess))). I'm so sorry. I have experienced some pretty lonely holidays myself. I also have pleasant memories of cobbled together plans with friends that turned out better than I expected. Do what you can to be with nearby friends and to pamper yourself in some way. Perhaps try to fit in some volunteer work as well.

I'm so sorry! This may be a good time to get some R&R and focus on you. Rent Movies, Borrow Books, Catch Up with friends, Splurge at a spa. If you really dread being alone, perhaps you can join a meetup group (meetup.com) and meet new people. Sending ((hugs)) your way.
