Who else is having Easter alone?

[pagerbear]

I will sing two services that morning and then spend the rest of the day alone, I fear.

[MissMillie]

1. Awww... you're welcome at my home

But that would probably mean you'd miss your two services.

[GOPisEvil]

2. I might have breakfast with friends.

That's the plan anyway. But my parents are on a trip out of town. A cruise actually.

I'm not very religious, and neither are my parents, but we usually have Easter dinner.

It'll be just another Sunday for me.

3. where you at pagerbear?

I bet you can find someone here to hang with if all else fails?

Where's the new boy ... his wife and or husband ...

[pagerbear]

4. I"m in NYC

I will probably hang out with friends Sunday evening, so it's not as bleak as it looks, but it's not a big family thing for me. My family is in NC.

[KinkyDem]

6. There's a bunch of olks in NYC

Ask around, I bet you could russel up a get together in no time.

5. I'm spending it with my dad

We're going to Church but the rest of the family is overseas

So it's going to feel pretty lonely

[Skittles]

Me, but I don't mind being alone

why do you fear your own company?

[pagerbear]

8. Oh, believe me

...I'm an old hand at spending time alone! I'm way too comfortable with it! But since this is a time everyone talks about family, I got started thinking....

[Skittles]

13. aw, screw that thinking

in all those family gatherings there's probably some who don't want to be there and most of them are not being themselves. Many times they are very stressfull.

7. My Wife Is Going To Her Parents...

And I have to work Easter Sunday.

[Padraig18]

9. We're spending it with friends here.

There will be 6 of us, altogether: s gay couple, a straight couple and 2 single guys. :)

[pagerbear]

10. Single? Are they cute?

[Padraig18]

14. Yes, very cute!

:D

[pagerbear]

15. Want a third cute single guy there?

[truthspeaker]

11. I'm not having it at all

It was never a big holiday in my family. We died eggs and ate chocolate but that was about it; nothing like the family significance of Thanksgiving or Christmas. I think I was in my 20s before I realized that it was a big deal for some families.

[Rabrrrrrr]

12. What church do you sing at?

I was thinking of maybe going out for brunch in the afternoon - perhaps we can begin to form a small NYC DU Easter Sunday meal dining team?

[pagerbear]

16. What a terrific idea!

I sing at a UCC (United Church of Christ) church in Greenwich. Nice folks there.

[Rabrrrrrr]

18. Way over in CT, eh?

Well, I'm up for a Manhattan-based Easter brunch. Perhaps Dim Sum? Yummy! If not, perhaps something else?

heh heh - and I'm probably one of the few people alive who know what UCC means. Sad, but true. :-) (that's my church - not the one in Greenwich, but the UCC)

[pagerbear]

19. I'm there!

I live in Manhattan. Anyone else interested in joining us?

[Rabrrrrrr]

20. I'll start a thread for it!

17. If your singing at two services

why don't you mention to the pastor/priest or the music director that you will be alone. I'm someone will invite you to their home or many churches have church lunches on Easter. I live far away from you so I can't offer a place. :hug:

[Lorien]

21. Me

Family is all up in Ohio, but I live in Florida, and spend most holidays alone. :-(
