I am completely friendless. I don’t even gave Internet friends. I dont have a family to spend it with either. I had a dog that was my everything. But she got old and died as we all do.

    I’m deeply sorry to hear that. I have been in your shoes for five years straight. This is the first time I spend it in family since forever.
    What I would usually do, is to prepare a very nice movie, or a great videogame I kept aside for a special occasion, drink wine, eat chocolates, the whole heartwarming exercise.
    Other years, I would play a MMO and have a play/chat with strangers bored to death at their family gatherings.
    I guess Christmas Eve is about giving. So my advice is don’t give up on you, you deserve to have a good time, no matter what makes you feel warm.

      Plenty of gamers online during the holidays. They were great company to me for 3 years straight. I personally enjoyed that more than family dinners and lunches just waiting for the next argument. Find your thing and own it.
