If one more person asks me what I got for Christmas I am going to slap them. I realize its not asked to hurt me but it does. I don't need another reminder of how I am alone and not even my family can at least make an attempt to call me.

I am sorry I know I am acting like a baby and that Christmas isnt for me and that there are people in way worse situations than I am, I just hoped this year was going to be different.

For Christmas I am asking for one thing...if there are any of you out there who haven't called your loved ones, do it. You have no idea how much difference a single call can make.

One call is all it takes. You are right. I also get tired of the question. Being single means sometimes being left out. I feel like you do sometimes girl. Vent all you want. We are always here.

People who do not have your language skills ask ‘What did you have for Christmas?’ as an entry into a much-needed conversation. They do not hear your answer, ‘I had a DIY loft conversion kit from my boy-friend and a green macaw from my mother,’ so long as you end with ‘and you?’ This gives them the chance to tell you about the pair of hand-knitted bedsocks with the Oxfam price-tag still attached, from their mother.
The question is one of three that you should never answer unless you know that your case is worse than theirs.
The second is, ‘How are you?’ – ‘I still have my twinges and I am in hospital next week for a self-service hysterectomy.’
The third is, ‘Where are you going for your holidays this year?’
A reply along the general lines of, ‘We will be taking our usual six weeks in Cannes and, after that, we are thinking of having a month in Mexico’ can only add to the depression. Make no reply unless you can truthfully say, ‘We are going to Poland to visit the boy-friend’s grandmother. And you?’ which will offer a chance of good cheer!
Poland is the most depressing country in Europe!

That sounds cheerless. Wishing for a colossal mass of happy for you pretty woman. If I was in the region I'd do my chicken bop for ya. Nobody and I mean nobody can wrestle the smile monster after that spectacle.
