Did anyone spend Xmas on their own this year..? I did for the second year in a row, invisible to my siblings...quite disappointing...

Christmas is such an evocative time of the year.
Sometimes, I think you’ve got to either take life by the balls, alternatively, take it the chin.
My siblings live across the world and it’s very lonely. So, I started up a Christmas Day initiative lunching the less fortunate which has grown exponentially. I’m never lonely now…
Hope the picture is different for you on New Year.

What a great idea...I don't see my circumstances changing, I might try that..
Had hoped to volunteer at Mayoral charity lunch here, but it didn't take place this year...New Year for me gonna be the same unfortunately...
