Spent the day at my sisters, not something I usually do, she knows I’m a bit down at the minute, enjoyed it.

Back in 2005, I spent my first Christmas alone. I wasn't really alone but it was the first Christmas morning away from my children and their mum. I found it bloody tough.
I got used to life alone and ended up with my children living with me full time . I have now remarried and spent today with a big family unit. I've really enjoyed today, as I do my new life, but there's also a big part of me that values solace. Fortunately, my wife feels the same so when we are apart, it's cool, but when we are together, it's better.

I went to see one of my sisters the other day, will go see my mum and the rest after boxing day as the house will be rammed. Mum is getting on now so i know she can't be arsed with loads round at once even though she likes it. Beyond that i don't give to much weight to xmas, it is more for those with kids i think.

Ironic as one of the main aims of the modern xmas celebration was to keep away those winter blues. Sadly for some it amplifies that feeling of being alone. As it is i could do 10 years solitary and come out not much different, ok that may be a stretch but you get my point. I can spend says not uttering a word and feel no urge to seek company outside that of my best mate Chopper (my dog). Indeed i have spent the day finishing off some work on the pc whilst watching youtube vids on the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

We should have a bm movie night, skype up, all start a film at the same time. I used to love doing that.

It’s a funny one for me mate, I seem to have lost a lot of people around now including my mum and dad, it was also my mums birthday in December, probably just get a bit to deep, mostly I’m more than happy with my own company, anyway cocktail Friday coming up :-)

Not deep at all bud, i was going to say some do not even have the option i have (to go to a heaving house full). I did,'t go into it though as i don't know what that is like and would never assume to do so. All i can do is thank my lucky stars my family is in good health with no sudden losses having occurred, or indeed any losses within reason, age permitting (grandparents etc). I know life won't leave me untouched in this way though and only hope i can go through it with the same good nature and willing to see a future as you do!

Life goes on mate, you can just end up reflecting more than is good for you, had a good 5 days in Lyon the other week and met some top blues, Schalke away coming up and Friday afternoon with AG hoofing cocktails, life could be worse :-)
