Christmas is a time of family , a time of good cheer with frinds and family .

i find myself alone, isolated on wot should be a happy day filled with smiling company, my own fault i guess.

when your alone , christmas increses the feeling of sadness and shows in stark relief the disfunctionality of your life.

maybe next year it will be better

So I'll be the first

You mean it's christmas today?!
Seriously, I've spent a christmas all alone and I enjoyed it. I had a small dog I was looking after for a friend for company and had a wonderfully peaceful day that involved no false jolliness, no arguments and no obscene amount of food.
I'm sharing a house now, so there are two of us here, but we're just treating it like any other day really, as we did last year. For some of us, christmas itself feels dysfunctional.
Obviously none of this is likely to help if you're feeling lonely. I do agree with you up to a point. Christmas can make those of us who are alone or lonely feel worse but only if you allow yourself to be sucked into feeling that you ought to be spending it having a big party with lots of people and that that ought to be fun. Maybe, if you weren't in the mood for it, it would have felt worse if you were doing that today? I know I've felt my most lonely in a crowd.
Please excuse the rather rambling post. I'm still waking up! Whatever it is that you feel is missing this year, I hope you can find it in the new year. Best wishes to you.

Christmas is just another day.
I spent last Christmas alone and it was no different to any other day that I spent alone.
I have spent this Christmas with the one I love. It was much better, but still no better that any other day that I spend with her.
There are 365 days in a year; one of them just happens to be called Christmas.
I do hope that you find what you are looking for soon.
