Getting By alone on a Christmas Holiday
When one is alone one contemplates what everyone else is doing. It isn't hard, you stare at the television screen and look out the window thinking that people with families are shopping and picking gifts and learning the meaning of giving.

On the other hand you also contemplate the savings you are enjoying by not having to buy gifts for anyone.

The church service on Christmas Eve drives the point home. Christ's birthday. You either believe or you don't.

You contemplate your death...knocks at the door of the mind. It helps to smile.

Love is everything. You contemplate how true it is now that you are alone.
