The son that has to work - first I am curious as to where he works. Some jobs you know going in you will most likely work the holidays.  Others you do not like some of the fast food and retail places that are open.  I am sorry if you are alone on Christmas.  Maybe you could volunteer at a soup kitchen if there is one in your area.  But you may rather stay home by yourself than to do that.  And there is nothing wrong with that either.  Do you not have any other family?  I guess I would do something to celebrate by myself.  Buy yourself something you want but don't open it until Christmas.  Get that pooch that is in the pic with you something.  Have something special to eat for you and the dog.  I wouldn't write off Christmas because it isn't what you want it to be or what it use to be.  Have your own celebration.  Or get on here.  Even people with family and stuff to do will probable come thru at least once.  Hope you can have a good day.  More people than you think are alone on the holidays.  And from some of the Christmas movies I have watched the past few nights I can see why this time of year has the highest suicide rate.  Gee whiz.  Why do all the Christmas movies have to be so dang sad.

Personally, I am looking forward to Christmas.
12/25 ABSOLUTELY no where in bible...Passover is observed every yr we know that date cos of Jesus command.

I'm looking forward to my whole family coming for dinner on Christmas Day...18 adults and 10 kids.  Its a tight squeeze to get everyone seated, but it works for us.

Truthfully I am looking forward for it to be all over, not the same with so many of my family who have passed or some who wont even give me the time of day :(

With each chapter of life bring on new traditions and activities.  I'm looking forward to a turkey dinner for Christmas.  Since we ate out for Thanksgiving I really miss the left overs so figured why not.  My husband and I have always had frozen pizza as the kids are at there grandparents.  This year I'd like to catch a movie...maybe our son will tag along - having the day off with no worries and praising our Saviors birth is all we need.  Maybe we won't do anything but just that - who knows.  Nothing etched in stone.  Nobody to please but ourselves and that's a big deal.
