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.

Dear @Owlunar and everyone else

wishing you a Merry Christmas 🎄

May you enjoy your day with your daughter.
I'm sitting down with my boys having a coffee outside on the deck. Had scones croissants and fresh fruit for breakfast. Waiting for my daughter her partner and little Ayla. I cannot waut yo see her face when she opens the presents.
it's a day of reflection for those that aren't with us tiday. My MIL and FIL and my beautiful niece. And to those that don't want to come over and spend the day with us (my parents) it's their loss.

Merry Christmas everyone !!❤️🎄❤️

Re: Christmas Loungeroom

Sometimes I think of estranged members of extended family @Owlunar

Not in a bad way or even a good way. I just think about them and wonder what they may be up to now.

It's strange how at Christmas it can be quite an emotional time both in a good way and a not so good way.

We are headed off for buffet lunch. I avoid breakfast on Christmas day as I need to save room haha.

Being away from sydney is good for my mind and attention I think.

Will probably have a nap this arvo.

As each Christmas comes by it always feels a bit different. Some things are the same and others are not.

It's always a good time of year to take inventory

Re: Christmas Loungeroom

Thanks @Owlunar and warm wishes for as good a Christmas as possible for you too. And also to @Zoe7 @MDT @TAB @BlueBay @Maggie @eth @Meowmy @outlander etc

Christmas for me is so mixed this year. Its my first Christmas since Mum died 5 months ago. And its our 4th Christmas since we lost my little 11yo niece in a tragic car accident. I miss my Mum and I miss how my little niece used to so love Christmas. So, just like many others at this time of year, my thoughts are with my lost loved ones. Feeling very melancholy at present.

But it is my little dog Holly's 11th birthday today, and I look to her for comfort, which she is so very good at giving.

My husband and I are having Christmas lunch with neighbours today. It should be nice. Been listening to Christmas Carols, which I really like.

Re: Christmas Loungeroom

Hey @Former-Member
Understandable that you feel that way my friend.

Just take it easy my friend. If it's melancholic then so be it. But I don't believe that means it won't be a nice day.

I hope you enjoy it with your neighbours!
