#22Same. I plan to sleep in today (haven't even gone to bed yet, still up from the 24th). I finished up watching Doctor Who: Flux a little while ago, about to head to bed, and when I get up later today after sleeping for a while I'm just going to go fish for a bit, come back home, cook, and spend the rest of the day vegging out and watching Netflix, Prime, whatever, maybe do some reading, yadda yadda. My family all live a few hours away and I don't feel like a road-trip, so this is just a little mini vacation (stay-cation) for me and some time to veg out, relax, and do whatever-the-fuck-I-want-with-no-obligations for a little while.
So yes, I'll be spending most of my time alone, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.
Anyway, have a "Merry Christmas", or "Happy Holidays" or "Happy Festivus" or whatever holiday greeting you desire from me. And a virtual hug as well.

#23This year has been rough. The antiviral pills are just getting approved, seem to be effective. There's a chance we'll get back to normal in the new year. Merry Christmas! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEaKX9YYHiQ
My guess is we will be able to come to a definitive answer by next year March if we go by the cyclic nature of this.

#24Thank you for doing this! It’s so important to reach out to be seen to be connected.

#25Thank you for this gesture. I lost almost everything. Job, 7-year relationship, my mental health. Feeling that I'm not only alone but inadequate to have a life like anybody else. I'm still alive, so there's that.
This too, shall pass.
Going through tough times sucks, but it's extremely helpful to keep in mind that it will eventually pass.
Stay strong.

Dang! That’s tough! How are you coping? You good?
Re: Tell HN: You are not alone this Christmas
#27Thanks. You too. I lost my partner of 3.5 years recently and this will be my first Christmas since it happened. I'm with family but it doesn't come anywhere close to filling the hole they left.
Merry christmas.

#28Seth Everman has a Christmas stream for exactly this this year. If you're into gaming or music, he's your guy. Super funny dude. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2UmnWZRiLVs

#29There was a Category 5 Typhoon in in the Philippines where I am last week. The power was out and there was no electricity, refrigeration, or internet for a week. One of the transformers in my neibourhood blew out and got destroyed, and at 6pm on Christmas Eve they replaced it and we finally had power! I'm a software developer with a wife and two kids and we have a lot to be thankful for. We survided COVID-19 and a Category 5 hurricane.

#30XMass is just an artificially distinctive day designed to sell more stuff to people. Why do guys even care about being or not being alone?
