Is it sad to say Merry X'mas to myself??

Somehow every year, I worry that no one will ask me out to celebrate the festive season and all ie Xmas and New Year's Day. However this fear never manifested. I guess Im considered lucky. However that way, I will be unable to know how it really feels to have a solitary festive mood. Is it fun? What will I do if I get time alone on such days?

Maybe I will just stay at home and play com games? Sleep? Go online and "gloat" over those who are in the same plight as me? Wander around the streets like a tramp? Go swimming in the icy cold water? (Its icy cold cos it never fails to rain around this time, not because of snow, unfortunately...) Watch TV? Sleep somemore?

Seriously I do not know. However I think that it should not be as miserable and pitiful as some ppl will think. I doubt I will feel miserable and pitiful even if Im left alone then, since there is actually a lot more that one can do alone.

I think I will definitely write something if this "fateful" day ever comes. Probably an introspective piece, probably Simon's own Xmas/New Yr novel, probably my own New Yr resolutions.... I really do not know.

Spring cleaning will be a practical idea. Binging will definitely be on the list since food is the source of joy, and I am definitely always hungry. A hungry man is an angry man and there's little point of being angry or unhappy on a joyous occasion.

Im glad I noted all this down. To all readers, it will be appreciated if u add on to this list of what a sole soul (forgive me if the alliteration sucks..) can do. So if ever I need something to refer to on a solitary festive night, there will be material. Nonetheless, whether u are alone or surrounded by company this season, Merry Xmas and a Happy New Yr to all.

What will you do this Xmas/ New Yr ??
