Holiday Meals

[Jeanneb2000]

Since there a many single people here at Lakeside, where they often dine alone due to thier personal circumstances I think we should take the opprotunity to either ask them if you could kindly join them or invite them to your table to join your group. This is especially important during the holiday season but anytime is great. They may be embarassed and decline the offer or may jump up with joy and join you and friendships may form. Let me know your thoughts on this as I know most of the posters here on the forum are kind and thoughtful. Jeanne

Great idea, Jeanne. I'm having a group of friends for Christmas Day. All of us, except one woman who is separated, and a couple and their adult son, are widowed or divorced. We won't be alone, but will have a nice quasi-family Christmas dinner. Close friends are like family here and, for many of us, are about the only family we have anyway. Some of us have little family in our countries of origin.

That is a very generous idea. Being alone on the holidays for the first or even 10th time can be depressing for some.

I agree
