Step by step guide to spending Christmas alone:
If, like me, you have to be alone this Christmas because corona really f’ed up your plans then I have a list of a few things I’ll be doing to give you some inspiration:
1. Watch the grinch for the 100th time this month as it’s incredibly relatable especially this year.
2. Try and sing snowman by Sia without breathing because nothing makes you feel like you’re moving up in the world quite like a tik tok challenge.
3. Watch a whole Amazon prime or Netflix series that shouldn’t be completed within a day but you do it anyway just so you have an excuse to move from your bed to the sofa with duvet in tow.
4. Quote the grinch to yourself and think you’re hilarious.
5. Eat (extra important especially as there’s no one there to watch you consume that whole tub of hero’s in one sitting).
6. Self loathe and then remember I’m being silly and Christmas is just another day and days will get better.
7. Clean the loo... no better time for it.
8. Nap because napping is essential on Christmas Day and everyday for that matter.
9. Wake up after your 7 hour nap and regret the ‘nap’ straight away because you have no self control and ignore every alarm.
I’m not saying that it’s going to be easy but are these few days really much different to the rest of this year? Crappy, unfulfilling and lonely but at least this just means that when we are eventually able to see family and friends it will be even more worth the wait.
You’re never truly alone.
Merry Christmas from one grinch to another x
