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

Merry Christmas everyone ❤️

I am not feeling very strong today but deseperately want too. I am trying to distract myself and think about what everyone else is up to today.

My neighbour is cleaning out his garage on a 40 degree day ! Well, I guess it's a good time as any to catch up on things around the house haha. Is anyone else doing that?

I hope you feel the well wishes to those that are celebrating or avoiding the holidays. We are here either way.

Re: Christmas Loungeroom

Haha, @TAB yes, you must remember for next summer. We do not live close to any shopping centres so I don't know what everyone is buying this year but I am curious. Would love to just go for a stroll in a shopping centre to see the decorations and wander around the aisles (I would probably get over the crowds quickly however)

Stay cool @Shaz51 , I went for a brief walk outside and already got sunburnt. I remember one christmas day when I was a lot younger and my siblings and I were at mums house, it was a high 30-something degree day with 85% humidity and we ended up all in one small room laying on the floor in the aircon just talking and laughing. Seems like a very distant memory now.
