Eating my Christmas lunch alone, on Mumsnet

[christma]

New low.

Me too. I'm loving it. Zero hassle this year. Pjs tv. Such a relief. Why are you alone?

Just saying Hi!

Hey. You've got some quality company on here! I've just had a light lunch and about to go for a walk. Did you have turkey?

Have you seen Sarah Millican’s #JoinIn on Twitter? Might be worth checking out.

Hello. What are you all having?

Me too! Having brie, crackers, tomato salad and prawn cocktail crisps 🙂 bloody covid!

@Tereseta that does sound yummy though!

Smoked salmon, hard boiled egg and prosecco 😁

Afternoon all!

Don’t think of it as a low OP!
Make it a day all about you! Eat delicious food, crack open a bottle and plonk yourself in front of the tv with chocolates. Absolute bliss

It was lovely! Had a little low moment when my DH and DD left for his mums but pulled my big girl pants up and am enjoying a alternative christmas 🎄
Merry Christmas to us all

I had beans & oven chips on my own one year when I was working (health care). That was fun.

Merry Christmas OP! It’s just a day. This year a lot of people are not where they’d like to be.

I'm checking in. waves once the couch blankets allow me to leave them ill also be cooking for one.

Just saying hi and that i have Christmas dinner flavoured mugshots and mince to share lol take it easy guys, any o e got any specific things planned to watch on telly? I've had a bit of Stuart little and a bit of mrs Doubtfire so far lol xx

I spend every Xmas alone. I've developed my own traditions over the years. Enjoy the peace.

What you having for dinner op? Traditional Christmas dinner?

I'm also on my own, eating mini cheddars and chocolates and watching the girl before on bbc iplayer

Its not a new low. Its me time in the company of like-minded individuals (or pissheads, whatever fits. I’m the latter today!).

Merry Christmas @christma

I was a miserable crap, even posted on here about it (broke up with fiancé yesterday & recovering from covid). But after lying in bed until mid-morning I got up, made some food (oven stuff) & thinking of having a little baileys whilst watching Emily in Paris (don’t love it but I’ve watched everything possible this week whilst self-isolating/recovering and so this will do).

Merry Christmas, OP! You are not alone, we are all here!

Hello! I choose to spend Xmas alone. Had myself a tiny roast and all the trimmings. Have a little Xmas pud for later. A film lined up but scrolling MN.

I once had Christmas alone on another continent for work. I booked into a hotel, took snacks and a book and enjoyed a perfect 24 hours of quiet and indulgence.

Take it for a win!!!

I've had a couple of Christmasses alone when I was living in SE Asia. One year I took myself to a nice hotel for a swim and lunch and the following year I went to the cinema. It was very weird being in 35 degree heat for Christmas day!

Anyway, lots of us can sympathise and understand. And we're here if you need us.

My friend just sent me this.

Hope you have a restorative day spending some quality time with a really beautiful person!!

Let's see today as just that.

Love to all x

Out on my own having a Christmas curry at a local restaurant.
