    Where do you go for Christmas if you are a bright, intelligent, funny, good person who has a difficult family? That you would rather spend it on your own then in an environment where there is fights, stroppiness and tantrums. What happens if you have no family at all? That you haven't met that special person yet to create your own family. I'm 34 and trying to figure out what I am going to do at Christmas.
    Anyone else in the same boat? or similiar?

    Personally, I'd love to have just one Christmas on my own.
    Just me, booze, food and T.V.

    Xmas day is no different to any other day in my house, apart from shít TV!

    Just stock up on some dvds, chill out and enjoy it. It's no big deal.

    Would any of your friends have you over. Do they know your predicament?

    One of my best mates does Christmas with me and my family /extended family most years.

    Go home for the food.. That's it. This year it's just me and my mum and I know I'm gonna get socks and Call of Duty..
    If the food's not good, I won't be happy.

    A lot of people spend time alone at Christmas, me personally, I prefer it. Im not into the whole close family happy times. My other half will go to her family home and I quite happily stay at home relaxing and smelling the xmas tree.

    But, as posted earlier, im sure if you asked your friends, they would have you over no problem.
