Christmas, alone or not

Some of my friends are going to spend Christmas alone. Not together with a family. Maybe they don't have one, or maybe they live far away, or maybe they choose not to. I do hope they're not going to be completely on their own. That would be a bit sad. I'm thinking of you.

Some of my friends are going to spend Christmas feeling alone, while they are together with their partners and with their family. That's a bit sad too, but most of the time it's their own choice. I'm not thinking of you.

Some people expect all their family members to play their different roles and be exactly as they always have been. The same role play, the same behavior and maybe even some familiar arguments? It gives us the possibility to watch ourselves and our dearest and remember the occasion for the future, and all the different roles. What role do you play in your family?

I've got a family to celebrate Christmas together with. There are other times of celebration, when you're supposed to be among friends, that I sometimes spend alone. Guess nobody is thinking of me then except my family. I'm happy I've got them.
