As the title says. I will be alone on the day, which is fine- I was last year too and ended up watching the first Harry Potter film. It looks likely that i will be alone for every Christmas for the foreseeable as everything is different now my mum has died. I don't mind it as I'm an introvert and enjoy my own company but it's nice to hear from others who will also be alone. I'm not strictly alone as I have my dog and cat.

So...will you be you alone and if so what are your plans fot the day?

Very tempted to, I turn 30 Xmas eve and have had a pretty emotionally exhausting last few months, last birthday I was so upset by a family situation I almost travelled home Boxing Day but didn't have the funds, I'm going to have a pre Xmas/Birthday weekend at my parents this weekend so I can see them and my grandmother 💚 I think and just make sure I'm stocked up on food for Xmas eve/ and day. I realise it's a bit sad to spend a 30th birthday on my own but actually I've already made a list of things I want to do that will make it more enjoybale than spending it at parents, (no offence they're great, it's just I feel out of kilter when I'm at theirs for various reasons and experience mild physical health symptoms connected to trauma that I'd rather not deal with) . As much as I love the sound of children singing, cheesy decorations and christmas cake - Christmas is extremley overwhelming/ can be an anxiety inducing time of year for so many reasons to so many and I'm sending love to anyone who also chooses to spend it alone <3

Happy birthday
