@oldredsubby "Loneliness at Christmas is a real issue. But if people want to be alone at Christmas, and don’t find it lonely, can we please just let them?"

Thank-you!

#BeingAlone does NOT equal #Loneliness.

I will be alone on #Xmas & have no problem with it.

It's just another day to me. 🤷‍♂️

No explanation or sympathy necessary.

Whether you believe in Christianity or Santa Claus or neither (as is the case for me) . . .

Xmas wishes to everyone to be able enjoy the day in the way that they choose to enjoy it. 😎

Not being able to do something with yourself and being overwhelmed by the simplicity of life is now considered an illness. Only those who numb themselves through distraction are healthy? Dubious.

“In this media-drenched, data-rich, channel-surfing, computer-gaming age, we have lost the art of doing nothing, of shutting out the background noise and distractions, of slowing down and simply being alone with our thoughts.”

~ Carl Honoré

As always, Christmas reminds me that I have no family while New Year’s reminds me that I have no friends. I love this time of year. (Not.) #MentalHealth #SocialIsolation #BeingAlone #Christmas #NewYears #NewYearsEve
