Christmas this year was… not great. I didn’t have any presents under the tree. Actually, I didn’t really have a tree. There wasn’t anyone around, either. Just me. The house was super quiet, and I kept thinking how Christmas is supposed to be filled with family and laughter. But not for me.
Dinner? Well, there wasn’t much. I ate some toast and tried to pretend it was special, but it didn’t work. I even lit a little candle to make it feel nicer, but it just made me sad.
I kept looking at my phone, hoping someone would text me, but no one did. I guess people were busy with their families and their own Christmases.
I know people say Christmas isn’t about presents or food or decorations, but when you have none of those things, it’s really hard to feel the magic. I went to bed early because I just wanted the day to be over.
If you had a lonely Christmas too, I get it. You’re not the only one. I’m telling myself that next year will be better, even if it doesn’t feel like it right now.
