I have spent many a  Christmas alone - most by choice. &lt;br /&gt;Of course the best Christmas&amp;#39; are spent with my grandchildren, however that&amp;#39;s not always possible. But, the alone ones have been enjoyable too. I usually cook something good, but I have also ordered in. Not always traditional fare but something yummy and top it off with a grand dessert. I rent movies,curl up with a book, pamper myself whatever..... it&amp;#39;s great. I look forward to hearing how much you enjoyed you fist &amp;quot;alone&amp;quot; Christmas. Expect a blessing!</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4923332712139209248/8523371393573602549/comments/default/9165498750781893112'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4923332712139209248/8523371393573602549/comments/default/9165498750781893112'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.sixtyandsingleinseattle.com/2011/12/single-christmases.html?showComment=1324752252321#c9165498750781893112' title=''/><author><name>AGW@diaryofagrownwoman.com</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img1.blogblog.com/img/blank.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.sixtyandsingleinseattle.com/2011/12/single-christmases.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4923332712139209248.post-8523371393573602549' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4923332712139209248/posts/default/8523371393573602549' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-504969420'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4923332712139209248.post-6961935153077108530</id><published>2011-12-23T11:58:29.379-08:00</published><updated>2011-12-23T11:58:29.379-08:00</updated><title type='text'>A singles Christmas is hard on people from loving ...</title><content type='html'>A singles Christmas is hard on people from loving families.
