I go first: I bought a winter landscape 1000 jigsaw and THREE kinder chocolate santas. I will make beef stew for myself with dumplings.

Also just had the idea to run myself my first bath in ages.

I'm estranged from abusive family and this is my 2nd Christmas alone, not including COVID Christmasses.

Well, so far 13 people found my 2nd post hilarious. It far outweighs the Mumsnet police nightshift. 😘

They’re not laughing with you.

Not been alone but I'd recommend park run on Christmas morning, if you're not a runner you can volunteer on the course, it's the best start to Christmas morningSmile

Thanks for this suggestion. The op may not appreciate the suggestion, but I do. Merry Christmas.

Jeez, stop bullying the OP. She’s not being rude, just saying she doesn’t want recommendations from people who haven’t been there. You sound like a bunch of mean girl bullies. Embarrassing.

Some people just can’t bear everything not revolving around them

@TotallyTwisted Nobody asked for recommendations, especially not from people who haven't spent Christmas alone.

Bit harsh..

I think I did that the first year I spent it alone and it was wonderful 😆

oh yeah one more thing before I hop off this thread - on Christmas Day if you’re bored or want to chat to others in the same situation you could post here on this thread.

I’m sure some other solo Christmas peeps will be around.

I probably won’t be checking social media or MN much since my phone will mostly be off but I may pop on here briefly.

I'm going to order Chinese food and binge watch The Bear which I've never seen.
Boxing day I'm going to the cinema to see the Robbie Williams film.
Other than that, not much, I've plenty of food though, and I've bought myself gig tickets for the summer as my present to me so those to look forward to.
If I change my mind there is a local cafe open for people on their own and they're doing free Christmas Dinner, (voluntary donation, which obvs I'll give), so I could pop along.

Aww, I'm glad the cats are going to be spoilt on the day.
