Re: Heartfelt Thoughts
What a lovely thread Nom.It's true .. many of us will have a quiet moment of reflection over those who are missing today and for some, it's a very poignant emotional time, especially if it's the first time. It can feel empty.
For all those who are having a quiet moment or are on their own this Christmas.

Re: Heartfelt Thoughts
One of the reasons I dislike Christmas is it is filled with ghosts from the past, people and places some too painful to remember
. Simpler times when expectations were low and small gifts meant a lot.
I guess you are saying it is the same for you Nom and I think that is so for many of us as we grow old.
Roll on 27th December when the whole overhyped nonsense of Christmas is over

Not a good day for me, but I hope 2017 will be, for me & you & everyone.

Re: Heartfelt Thoughts
I suppose it just another day in the calendar but ive found both good and negative thoughts can intrude, better if possible to hope for the former to hold sway. I have shed a few this morning reading some of the stories out there. Used to hate that feeling, but not anymore, at least i feel alive and aware.

Re: Heartfelt Thoughts
I understand what you are saying Nom and, although we have probably all lost somebody we care about, it is much harder to spend Christmas day alone. My sister is here, but her boyfriend is seriously ill in hospital, so sharing this day makes it easier.I would like to think that we would all have a friend on here, if we are alone and need one, and that is why I always sign in here every day.
I may not be a loved one but I can still send a smile
and a kiss 
to anybody who needs one.

Re: Heartfelt Thoughts
We had to cancel meeting with family today due to the fact that we have both been ill. Luckily, it's only temporary for us and we still have each other but it does give us a tiny insight into how it must feel to be lonely or left out at this time of year. It's the first Christmas I have missed in 53 years - something that I have always taken for granted I suppose.It's nice to see that people still get together on here today even if it is just in a virtual way.

Re: Heartfelt Thoughts
Twink of course you are a ' loved one', your sister loves you ,and your cats love you,Like Meg I shall be glad when the season is over,it has seemed like a long day. I have lost so many people I cared about,some near Christmas times Christmas doesnt mean anything, the tele has been boring,Ive flipped from channel to channel. But at least Im not alone like some poor people ,I have my son still,I have a SIL not too far away & could have gone to her,one of my nephews would have come in their car for me,and have our lovely rescue dog who enjoyed a little turkey with us ,on his first Christmas here.Maybe go to a sale tomorrow ,see what the weather is like
