Hi, my Christmas is solitary this year, no family or friends. I'm not even having a Christmas dinner. I'm not sad about this, though. It's just the way it is. What I wanted to say is, if you are in the same situation, you are not alone. So have a virtual hug from me.

#2This 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!

#3Very nice.
My family is having a quarantine Christmas. We’ll be done on Monday.

#4I have people but still feel alone. Every year is a brutal reminder that there will come a moment when you have finally met all the people that will ever love you, and the list only shrinks more and more every year. For me, it must have happened long ago.

#5Thanks! Last couple of years have been more lonely due to covid stuff. I'm only my own but picking up my kids tomorrow for a week. Enjoy your day, it's just another day though! I'll be doing some chores, going for a bike ride, then roasting something.

#6You can also get an actual virtual hug and virtual dance etc in online gaming if you re bored. Even if public gatherings are turned off this year, technology gives people , solitary or not, ways to connect with each other
(I'll shamelessly plug these open-source world parties https://opensimworld.com/?sub=events )

#7Thanks, pretty much same for me.

#8Solitary here too. I like being alone, but I do require a little "punctuation" throughout the year when I see people. It's a shame that gatherings seem to require an excuse or some big event and can't just be "because I haven't seen you for a while". Maybe they can be. But I lack the social skills to make that happen. Also my latent social anxiety.
