Who lives without family?

[charmonman]

I get by with a little help from my friends. I really don’t care about Christmas though I did have a couple of video calls my brother and his wife over the period. I am also in my sixties and never wanted to be tied down by a wife and kids. Maybe that’s why I was able to retire early and enjoy life. I almost never feel lonely, but don’t look down on those who do. Everyone is different.

I spent my Christmas without family.  My UK ex-wife and my 3 kids disowned me 20+ years ago when my lung illness forced me to move to warmer climes.

 

But I didn't spend Christmas alone.  I was in Shan State (Myanmar), donating gifts to orphans.

 

 

GG, if you want to burst into tears again, look at this short video that I made at one of the orphanages on Xmas Day. The boy's song is so apt for that war-torn country.

I have almost no family and I don't miss a family.

I have a sister in another country. We have no problems with each other, but we live totally different lives. A message or two every couple of months is all the contact we have.

 

And about Christmas, etc. I avoid any special lunch or dinner or whatever events on those days. It's a day like any other day. If someone wants to celebrate it in company of people, I am sure he can go to church somewhere.

Personally, I am just fine without Christmas and family. 

 

Absolutely the same as me!

Same here but do like them all.  I have the same habits with friends also.

I don't understand how people can not love their family, let alone not like them.

My sister is easily my best friend.   My parents were wonderful, but have sadly passed away. 

All my relatives are great, we've never not got on with each other.

Yes, I've watched that video, and many others from Vloggers.  Almost without exception they are exaggerating the dangers (of walking down a street in Yangon). I understand that they do this to get more subs and clicks of course.

No idea what you are on about, but that is par for the course.
