Not every one like to celebrate Xmas, it's there own choice, accept that and you don't have to feel pity.
There are people who cannot imagine that there are other ways of life than their own life.

Re: Whats everyone up to on Xmas Day.
Just did the big Amazon shop, that's Xmas sorted. Now to sit in a bar with other lonely souls and complain about which Christmas song is the worst. Might treat myself to an expensive meal and buy the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy, the shop in kampot has 30 copies, I think I can talk then down from $3 to $2 and get myself 2 happy hour beers.
It's gonna be a good one!
Might head back to KRS instead though and meet up with a friend.
Still, it'll beat the one I spent in England eating fish finger sandwiches alone without any heating and about £2 on the leccy meter. Didn't even have a tree
(Small violin)

Re: Whats everyone up to on Xmas Day.
It's truly amazing how many non-Christians show how religious they are by celebrating Christmas by having a big Christmas dinner .

Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

Re: Whats everyone up to on Xmas Day.
That's a tradition before Christianity came to western Europe, the pagans celebrate around December 21
that daylight became longer. They celebrate with a lot eating and drinking and that tradition became
embedded in Xmas. With Eastern it was the same, the pagans celebrate that spring arrived and they had some rituals like eating a lot of eggs (fertility symbol) and big bonfires. I grow up with that, and they
still do it in the north-eastern and eastern part of my home country.

Re: Whats everyone up to on Xmas Day.
House sitting. The place is on a hill with big second story verandah and a rather splendid hammock very near an airport. Shall be a nice scotch with a cigar or three watching the planes as I lazily swing from side to side. I will probably also touch myself at some point. (Not on the verandah)
