Jim: Find out if there is a Senior Citizens Center or any type of Community Center in or near Barnesville.
We live in a small town in Central N. C. Every Christmas Day, the community comes together to have a noon-day meal, and EVERYONE is invited. Local businesses donate items for door prizes, music is provided (my sister is one of the entertainers every year)...The goal is to ensure that NO ONE is alone on Christmas Day.
My point is, DO NOT accept being alone. I'm sure there is a Soup Kitchen or Homeless Shelter or SOMEWHERE that you could possibly volunteer for a couple of hours on Christmas Day, if you're up to it physically.
Check your local newspaper, or look at flyers in business windows....Ask at church on Sunday!
Don't make me have to fuss at you! lol
Keeping you in our thoughts and prayers...
