I Am Lonely

I've just been informed that I'm spending christmas on my own. I usually spend christmas with my dad, but he recently got promoted and missed his chance to sign up for time off. This means I'll have to spend christmas with my mum. Except she always works at christmas. Then my step-dad "kindly" asked me to not spend christmas with him and his son (not that I was intending to). My brother will most likely want to spend christmas with his girlfriend and I never see my sister anyway, so there's no point asking her what she's up to. It doesn't bother me too much, but it's the fact I'm always on my own anyway which annoys me, and the one day that I thought I was guaranteed someone to spend the day with isn't even going to happen

I am in the same boat this year. My family are going away for Xmas and I am left here to babysit the dog and Guinee pig.

One thing that was suggested to me was to go out on XMas day and see what other people are doing, maybe try to cheer some people up, and at the same time cheer yourself up.
