Or is this journalist somewhat of an insensative prat!  His comments as quoted below only seem to make some peoples lives even more of a misery than they already are at this time of year.

--- Quote ---That said, I should not overlook the possibility that you are spending the nativity season alone, without friends or family, through no choice of your own. In which case, I apologise for my insensitivity, and belatedly acknowledge that Christmas must be a miserable time of the year for some people, and I've probably made it worse, and I feel very bad about that. There, now you've spoilt my Christmas too. Thanks.

Think there might be time to complain, how the hell they thought it was good to print something like that, even if meant in humour, if your massively depressed and alone this time of year its really not helped promoting going out and meeting new people does it.

Stormin:
I spent many a Christmas Day alone after my marriage went wrong. Didn't brood though. Enjoyed the empty roads on my motorcycles. :D  Now , myself and partner are awaiting youngest daughter and hubby for dinner. Eldest and family came round last night. I have known people who are alone dreading Xmas though. :(

Yoshi:
Indeed, but its those who are alone this christmas who are going to read something like that and think they are going to be imposing themselves on people by going out, i am thinking a strongly worded letter to the bbc explaining this and seeing what they respond with.

missroadrage:
Well I spent all afternoon on the internet - I've recently left my Husband, my Son went to his Dad's after dinner & my family & friends live too far away or went to their family's.

To me the internet was something to do

dave_2A_2.25Turbo:
Quite possible to be alone surrounded by people too.....
