I am new to your channel. There are so many people, including myself that spend most Christmas alone. I remember wonderful times i had when my parents were alive. It certainly is not easy to get used to.
Well, I’m in a 20 year live in relationship, and I’m lonely in the relationship. He’s in his mid 70’s, I’m in my early 60’s, I have 3 adult kids, they’re not married and don’t have any kids. The grass is not always greener on the other side either. His family has conflicts, and holidays can be difficult because of that. My 3 older brothers and their family, I don’t see, and my sister and I don’t talk with each other, she is toxic and for my own preservation, I don’t think it will change. I hope you can have a pet, it makes a world of difference. You’re not the only one who feels the loneliness during the holidays, lots of company in that respect. Keep the vlogs coming, we will be your family. Hugs to you ! ✨🎄✨
I have been an adult orphan for 24 years. I did the same and started new traditions for myself. Some of them stuck and some of them I did for a while and realized they weren’t fulfilling my heart. It can be hard to get motivation when you’re only motivated by yourself and not for sharing it with someone else. It may fill your heart to do acts of service during this time of year to fill that need and space in you .sending you a giant hug of love, motivation, and understanding.💗💗💗🎄
My first yr spending holidays with friends instead of family. I feel sad and like an orphan. Tagging along with friends is odd. I’m grateful but it’s just not the holidays of the past. Wishing you a blessed day
I'm spending Christmas alone again & I have been married & I have adult children too. I come from a huge family, but they live far away now. I doubt that Christmas will ever be anything like it was most of my life.again. I will still eat something special & watch some good movies & be thankful that I'm not homeless.
🙌 I spend every Christmas alone 🎄other than my dogs. But I’m ok with it. I get a lil sad but I count my blessings … food, shelter, vehicle to drive to my job and able to pay my bills .
I’m 45 and never been married( and no kids) and sometimes I feel like the odd man out because I’ve never been married. But then it makes me feel good to see other women who have never gotten married either! I feel less strange. I’m glad you have your friend to spend Christmas Eve with!
Spent all my Christmases except one since 2016 alone. I am still figuring it out, I can spend a fair bit without really having that festive mojo. Maybe I will get Chinese food delivered I have enjoyed that in the past. I do enjoy the Christmas radio stations you get online. You have mentioned elsewhere comments help the algorithm get videos out to those who need to hear it, I think your message is very worthwhile, so just wanted to send Christmas greetings to you and your online community from Glasgow, Scotland.
I'm pretty much the same situation as you but my mom died 14 years ago. I'm good now with carrying on as if the holidays didn't even exist. Christmas is just another day like any other.
Hi. Thank you for sharing your feelings. I have a family and don’t know what it’s like not to have one. I do give thanks to God for everything he has given me. Life isn’t easy for me either. Even with my beautiful children and wonderful husband I still get sad at times. It’s life. We all have our crosses to carry. I rely on prayer and a true relationship with God to get me through. All this to say we all go through times of sadness but hang in there. I like how you try to have a positive outlook. See what you have when things get you down. You will be in my prayers. May you have a penitential and reflective advent and a Blessed Merry Christmas 🙏🏼🎄
You got me at bubbly goth. I used to listen to a lot of old depressing music, especially around the holidays, now I keep that for summer and find something a bit more upbeat ( but not to much, haha) for the darker days.
I love goth music so much but I don't listen to it much when I'm sad. I am guilty, however, of listening to The Pouges "Fairytale of New York" too much at Christmas. 🤣💕
Things are hard but you deserve so much more : You are a lovely Caring person and you was a great daughter and had lovely memories with your Mum : She is always with you and always will be : Let your spirit shine and let the people around you see that wonderful spirit that you so obviously have and hang with only nice worthy people and believe me it will all come to you : Make this video be your start to the life you deserve : 2025 will be a great year for you starting now xx😊
Thanks for sharing, Lisa. I have been so sad lately. It is unbearable at times. Seeing this video gives me a little comfort. What area of the US do you live in?
I am experiencing the same things…it’s rough! I’m not going to get into my story here, I just wanted to suggest what I have used to help with SAD (seasonal affective disorder). I use what is called a Happy Light”…Amazon may have. Living in Pittsburgh, our weather can be what I call “gloom and doom” weather with minimal sunshine! I too, was so excited about the holidays and thought maybe this year it would be better, but like you it kind of wore off. I wanted to do Vlogmas and start my channel up. But, haven’t done that either. I try really hard to get over this black hole kind of feeling. But I wanted to tell you that I’ll be thinking about you and I subscribed and hope your channel grows. Take care.
Thank you for the encouraging message. I had a small light bulb like that a few years ago and it seemed to help. It blew out and I never got an new one, I will look at the Happy Light. Thanks for letting me know.
Friends and family will call, or call them. Go to church. Decorate. Flick on those twinkling lights with a mug of hot chocolate and a nice movie. Tomorrow is another day
Christmas is not Christmas anymore, since they took Jesus out of the picture. I've been celebrating Christmas myself. I enjoy it. Quiet, no drama. Don't have to go anywhere, if you know who party by yourself , your own company is all you need. Deck out your house and have fun. Life is too short. I'm gonna have fun. Merry Christmas.

I have the same feeling, I remember the big family, food and crazy gift giving! I usually am blue around this time too! Stay strong ❤

First year spending Christmas alone, after a 10 year relationship. This is the loneliest I’ve felt since the split up
It's tough after a divorce, but it gets easier. Do good things for yourself.

Yes, there are always things to be grateful for and it is best to look at the bright side. 💖

Same. I'm so happy to have my dog Roland, a great job, and a warm place to live. Hope you have a great Christmas with the pups. 💖🎄

Thanks for the comment. I love meeting other women in the same situation 💕❤️

Maybe if you are able to take a trip somewhere different at this time of the year. It may take some time but don't give up. God bless you.
