Ideas for first Christmas Eve without my children
I am going to be without my kids this Christmas Eve because they will be with XAH. I want to keep myself busy doing something helpful, and spirit lifting for me and others. Can't be too expensive. I live in a winter resort community. Any ideas?
I love volunteering my time. Is there a shelter in your area you can help out at, or even just ask at a local cafe/resturant if they need help serving? Other than that, my local area is having a Carols Concert outside the church on xmas eve, or there are special masses this time of year, which are not all heavily religious either if you don't like that too much. I went to one once, called a Christlemas Service, where the whole church was darkened, and the children were given oranges with candy and a candle to hold during the service and then while the congregation sang carols, the children walked around the church with their candle.
Try to search the net for xmas eve activities in your area.
I hope you have fun whatever you do
