What to do when facing the prospect of spending Christmas Eve alone?
For the first time in 11 years. Some have said church, but I don't belong to any, and I'm against the whole organized religion thing anyway... I could volunteer, but I'd still feel so fucking alone.
if you're near Cincinnati, you can come with me and my wife to the out-laws' house in Hamilton. I'll warn you though: they're Republicans. On the bright side, since the election they have been strangely quiet about politics.
7. Same thing I've done every year for the last 20 or so...
Wrap presents, listen to classical music on the radio or watch a movie, and be glad I'm not stuck with somebody else's holiday agenda. I like my solo Christmas eves.
10. I haven't spent Christmas Eve alone per se, but....
....with the exception of last year I've spent it away from my own family (i.e. my parents and sisters). Given that my mother is Ukrainian and Christmas Eve is the most special of the nights--moreso than Christmas Day and to the extent that we opened our presents on Christmas Eve, not Christmas Day--I felt a little sad being away from them. My wife's family doesn't do anything on Christmas Eve.
