Bah Humbug.
Is it too late to ignore Christmas and boycott all celebrations?
It seems I have two choices:
a. spend Christmas with best friend (who I have barely seen in the past two weeks due to recent fascination with certain boy) and new boyfriend who are seriously in honeymoon mode.
b. spend Christmas on my own with many books, DVDs, new ice skates and lots of yummy food.
Why is it that at this time of goodwill and love, option b is looking the most attractive? Is it really too late to sell a kidney and get a flight to Cuba?
I did try to find out if there was some kind of volunteering I could do over the weekend, but my lack of language skills (and to be perfectly honest, lack of real effort) proved fruitless.
I'm quite happy to have Christmas on my own. I can play my cheesy carols and drink all the wine and go ice skating on the partially frozen river! For those reading this and taking this seriously ... please stop. Taking it seriously I mean.
If anyone has any useful suggestions on how I can spend my Christmas weekend, I'd love to hear them.
On a more positive note, I wish you all a wonderful Christmas. I will be enjoying myself wherever and whoever I end up with and I expect you all to be doing the same.
I miss you all, especially at the moment and if I do get terribly drunk, expect late night calls from me expressing my undying love.
I love you all! (well, I love most of you ... if I have no idea who you are then I guess I love you in a universal sense ... but maybe not personally. However if you think I should love you personally, please feel free to email and don't forget to include a photo!)

You could take flowers to a hospital especially old folk and sing to them. Then it doesn't matter what language you speak!
(Wishing I could get you flights so you could sing in our shelters here)
Have you resorted to getting dates on the internet, having people send in pictures to you?
Can't you just do the normal thing and ask santa for a lover?
Merry Christmas!
Hey Fellow Xmas Orphan!
I wouldn't knock back option A...you gotta spend it with someone, that's the whole thing of it for me anyway (although the kidney for Cuba could be a thing!)...whoever you end up with, have a Way Cool Yule and know that lotsa love will be coming from Paris way...
Mike :-D
What happened to the llama?
Hi, I just came across your blog. Thanks for a great read. I'm also a gal from Melbourne, and will be away from family and friends for Christmas as I'm in Tokyo. Sounds as though there are a lot of us orphans out there.
Keep up the vino intake and have yourself a blurry Christmas!
Take care.
ps my favourite word at the moment is 'malevolent' coz i reckon it looks good when it's written down.
