Spare a thought for those on their own this Christmas


Thanks for the reminder.

While there is no sin in appreciating one's own life and family during these holidays, it is always good to remember those who would be us but for the grace of fortunate providence.

Happy Holidays

The Christmas Story movie. Oh, how I look forward each year to being able to catch that movie again and again. lol.

For all you folks out there in ATSland who might be alone this Christmas, just imagine me being there with you. I've got sort of whitish reddish hair, it's not very long. I have a white moustache and goatee. I smile a lot. I tell jokes and am quick with a sarcastic remark. I speak softly. But I laugh loudly. Uh, I'm wearing a pair of black pj bottoms with red AC-DC logo all over them. Shirtless, but it's okay cuz I ain't fat or soft for an old man. lol So I'm not quite a disgusting sight to behold as I'm sitting in your living room on the couch tossing down shots of Jim Beam followed by sips of Coke Zero and laughing my ass off at The Christmas Story on the TV. Mind if I smoke a pleasant smelling little cigar? Yes? K. I don't have to smoke it. Oh, I brought a small container of Halls on the River hot beer cheese and crackers. Enjoy the tang of it all. No sex, though. Get that thought right out of your mind. This is a platonic friends together on Christmas sort of thing. You're female and are hot for aging men? Well, maybe......convince me. Uh, you're Johhny Depp, well. um, cough, cough, er, well, okay. Just this once and only because you insist. Like Johnny Depp is alone on Christmas!!
Yes, I jest. Did I mention that? Yeah, I do that.
Hey, I even brought a present cuz you are special and someone is thinking about you this Christmas holiday. Happy Holidays!!!

What a wonderful message neformore

I'll never forget years ago on Christmas Eve, seeing this very elderly lady who reminded me of my grandmother so much. She would have been in her late eighties I guess. But what left an indelible impression on me was the loneliness of this old lady carrying her own bags through a crowd, with no one to help her with her shopping. She almost carried with her this aura of loneliness - if such a thing exists.

It happened more than twenty years ago, and I still think of her and shed a tear or two.

Loneliness is a bastard, and it effects more people than most might expect.

I applaud you for putting forward such a poignant reminder

S&F'd as this is a message everyone needs to be reminded of.
