Merry Christmas

Today, my family cancelled coming for Christmas again for the third time in four years. I only get to see my son for a few hours in the morning, then I'll be on my own the whole time. Again. FML

Holidays are a tough time to be single or divorced. If your family doesn't want to come to your place, do they have Christmas get togetherness at their place that you would be welcome at? Ask, chances are you would be welcome... My family (parents and grandparents) always had regular seasonal get togetherness that everyone in the extended family came to - It was not something they wanted to take on the road visiting all their kids during Christmas or Thanksgiving. That may be the reason they don't want to come to your house... If you cannot get together with your extended family for Christmas or Christmas Eve, find something else to occupy yourself with friends or a movie or whatever occupies your time and attention. But stay away from the alcohol - being lonely, depressed and drunk leads to trouble.
