I realise that it is very early to bring up Christmas, but I am hoping this year that things will be better than last year and that I won't be on my own. My friend's church is doing a Christmas dinner on Christmas Day for people alone and I emailed them and have been put on the list for it. Transport will also be provided. So hopefully if all goes well I will have company on Christmas Day, which will make such a difference to the season for me. My friend is going as well and it will be really good to spend Christmas Day with her.
