About Christmas

Christmas is for single persons one of the most horrible time of the year, right ahead of New Year's Eve.

This year's Christmas Eve I spent as always home alone. As usual I had at the evening a nice walk through the quiet and empty dark streets of my neighbourhood. This time I wasn't as lucky as to see a like a Santa Clause disguised student hurrying to the next meeting. But I saw a car corso of a wedding. And again I watched to the bright lighted windows, imaging what might happen now behind these windows and curtains.

Back home and after a short dinner I was suffering on the bad taste TV-programme as every year - Christmas Carols, Christian Christmas Stories or second class action movies.

Well, I could had gone to my parents again, but I didn't want, also because I wanted to punish myself, that I again wasn't able to find a nice girlfriend this year, who I could spend this time together with. So, at night I was a bit glad, that I again have reached to pass this day.

Fortunately I was invited from my sister to spend the First Christmas Day with her family. So, I not only had a delicious meal, but we were spending the time with good talks and conversation and playing a funny games alltogether.

The Second Christmas Day (in Germany there are two public holidays after Christmas Eve) I was again home. But I had enough to do in preparing a good dinner for myself.


It looks like as this year New Year's Eve won't become as bad for me, because I likely will accompany my sister's family to our parents to spend it together.
