If you’re alone for the holidays. You’re not a loser.
I’ve spent most of my birthdays & Christmases & New Year’s alone.
One year I got real lucky & spent Christmas with my Grandma, just the two of us in her house in Swindon after my grandfather had passed.
We treated ourselves & put the heating on. Did a jigsaw puzzle. Shared stories & ate dark chocolate.
Sometimes I close my eyes to try to conjure the smell & sounds of her in the kitchen, as I sat on her big green sofa.
