Alone For Christmas

A myHIVteam Member asked a question πŸ’­
Brighton, England, United Kingdom

I used to fly to Edinburgh for Christmas to spend the holiday with my best friend Angus..Or he would join me in Brighton for Christmas. Sadly Angus became ill suddenly 2 years ago and he hasn't been able to travel at all. I also, in the last couple of years haven't felt well enough to negotiate crowded Trains or Planes, as Christmas travel can be too busy to cope with. I will be treating the holiday as normal working days and will be hosting my Brighton Squirrels Christmas Party on Wednesday… read more

Well, if you were closer come with me to dinner and a boat cruise to see the lights. I'd get you a gift under the tree...but I have a pink Barbie tree this year. I'm sure you'd love it. My hubby passed 8 years ago and I miss him, he always got the biggest tree and ornaments that broke the bank that pissed me but he was too sexy to get mad at. he went crazy for the season. I had his big Mexican family too. My family used to be close but now all are dead or moved far. I made a new family now of friends. Yesterday I heard something brilliant, a drunk queen at the bar ( I probably was too) said "eff traditions, those are a ball and chain that keep you from new experiences". Hmmm. I like that. ❣️ (can you see the shadow outline of my pup in the pic?)

I am in the same boat this year unfortunately, my better half will be departing to see his family for the holidays (Christmas and NYE), and I thought I would be doing the same (seeing my family) but this turned out to be not the case. Had I known I would have gone with my better half, but ticket prices so close to the holidays now are expensive and I simply cannot afford it.

I am not sure what I will be doing - I might just put on a few movies, maybe play on the computer a bit, I really haven't given it much thought.

I am a little sad that I will be alone this year, but I have my cats, I have entertainment, I have a neighbor who will also be alone this Christmas, so I might just visit them. I just don't know.
