Christmas Loungeroom

Christmas Loungeroom

For all those who are both celebrating and avoiding Christmas this year the Chistmas Loungeroom is a place for us all to hang out. It is especially for those who will be alone throughout this Christmas period and as a place to come together and enjoy the company of others in what can be a difficult time for many.

Feel free to post your stories, images, grievances, etc. of this period and to leave messages for other members to help each other get through this time of year.

Christmas day can be extra hard for some so this is a place for us all to get together on the day and share it with other members.

Re: Christmas Loungeroom

No @Zoe7 I did not bring any leftovers home.

They did have a lot of food left over - They wanted people to take some.

The 70+ year old lady next to me, had been insistently telling me her entire life story (with all the Gritty details) for over 2 hours - She did not stop to breathe, didn't take a break.

She did not ask anything about me, I could barely get a word in.

So I was emotionally Drained, as well as being Sunburnt (& over-heated), long before I left.

I had to say "I've goto go now", whilst she still kept on talking (just to me).

A community lunch on Christmas Day, is a time for "Light-hearted conversation" (& some Cheer) - No I didn't get any.

So I had to leave, just to get some Peace & rest.

Re: Christmas Loungeroom

Oh that sucks @Adge The poor thing must have needed the company but sorry it was you that had to be in that position. I have no doubt you made her day though by listening - you probably put a smile on her face today buddy so feel good about that 👍

The heat in your part of the world has been really high so plenty of TLC and fluids needed now to look after you.
