I am on a tug boat at anchor off Rhode Island waiting for a ship to leave that's in my space. My family will celebrate yet another Easter without me. I stay in contact via Yahoo and Cell. My wife finds herself in your situation a lot. I hate it for both of you. It's probably hard to even think of attending church (I haven't in many years) because you feel like an outcast. Life is full of surprises (my Wife accuses me of being an eternal optimist) and though no one can predict what may happen, you might want to give it a try. You just might meet some new friends or at the very least have someone to talk to. Instead of trying to find someone to talk to, introduce yourself to the pastor. He will be sure to welcome you in front of everyone(very embarrassing) which will make everyone want to come and talk to you. This could lead to great things. Good luck!

Now that you're an adult, it's okay for you to know that many many people do not care to celebrate the birth of Jesus.  \n\nThink of youself as a minority and imagine everyone wishing you the gift of 72 virgins from Allah.  Would you get sick and tired of it after two months of being inundated with "the season?"  Every time you pay for a purchase, the clerk wishes you 72 virgins from Allah.  How long can you continue to be courteous?\n.

I don't, because I'm not going to.  I have Jesus in my heart and in my life.  He offered me life, salvation from sin and from death.  When I felt I had no reason to live, that I was unloved and unwanted, He showed me that I am loved and I am wanted.  He gave me reason to live.  I'm alive because of Jesus.  So I know that I will be spending my eternity with Him, and I cannot wait to get there!  :)

The only person I celebrate is Jesus at Christmas time, and show honor and respect at Easter. More than once I've had people mad at me for not celebrating pagan holidays. Sorry, don't do idols or false gods.

I would spend it with the people that I love most. I would spend time loving them and God. People think that it matters so much how much money you have and what car you drive. In the end it only matters that you have faith and love. It matters that you lived your life trying to be a friend to those who needed one, and always loved your family. So if today were my last day before I went home to be in Heaven, I would spend it being a loving friend and with my awesome family

i have always thought of Easter as more important.  Jesus was tempted and because he WAS man, he could've NOT died on the cross for our sins.  However, He chose to do so and showed us His ultimate love and sacrifice through it.  I always look at Easter as a more important and more reverant holiday than Christmas.  I love Christmas and enjoy the festivities with a smile, but Easter always brings a certain solemness at first (usually on Good Friday) and then a joyful ending on Easter Sunday - since He rose and is now alive in Heaven.\n\nGood question!

I probably will not do much valentines day. Maybe exchange gifts with my friend. I will probably help with the children during our valentines banquet at church, so the adults can enjoy each other's company freely and I can enjoy playing games with them and letting them know how much God loves them.

No, I did not, but I do want to go to Church.  The problem I have is that I have a disabled child and two other children.  We did go once and it was awful because we spent the whole time trying to keep our child quiet.  The other two boys were OK and could go off to special groups for the children.  It was quite a stressful experience, so now I try to pray at home.  A pity really, because I wanted my children to grow up knowing all about Church and the meaning of Christmas and Easter.

Christmas. The sights of the lights, the smells of the food cooking, the tastes of things that are only cooked at this time of year, the sounds of choirs and songs only brought out at this time, the feel of the love of God, in giving us such a special gift of His own Son...Jesus. That's what it's all about. And it's the most special day of the year for me. <*)))><

None...I found out that i will be alone. I found that out today. I am not feeling sorry for myself and i would serve others if i were well enough to....but i am not, so I will watch the snow fall and perhaps play on the computer and remember my friends....read, watch a little telly...and write to those who mean a lot to me thanking them for being in my life.\nFood....I am simply thankful for anything I have ......thanks for the question....i needed this reality check.\nLioncourt
