Alone But Not Lonely At the Holidays: A Quiet, Simple Christmas Is a Gift

[@Daily_Disciple7]

I’m 55 years old woman divorced . I live alone. One daughter. I did not put up a Christmas tree this year. I wanted a quiet Christmas. The Lord is meeting me where I am. Im keeping my full attention on Christ. My cup is full. I’m doing good. Merry Christmas to all. God is truly Faithful. Thanks for sharing.♥️

[@oldstonewellfarm]

Amen, and blessings to you!

[@LDHBees]

As I lay in bed tonight reading, I heard my husband of 36 years unloading the dishwasher in the kitchen. I realized how much comfort the sound of him in the house brings me. I had an intense moment of thanksgiving for him and our journey together - for however long it may be. I know we are never alone - the Holy Spirit is always present but I am also grateful for the gift He had given me and pray for those who have lost their spouse and those who feel alone. But I Think we all know God is with us - Emanuel. Our loving Creator who lnever forsakes us. Be encouraged and know the Light of the World is with us.

I'm positive that God had a hand in sending this video to my feed....its far, far from the usual content. But its certainly what I needed this Christmas Eve. At nearly 60, divorced, no children, no grand children and virtually no close relatives left at all...thank you for this. Its given me at least some peace, comfort and hope for a sense of purpose in this season of life. Merry Christmas

[@susandenniscook9271]

I totally can relate to your situation. Bless you this Christmas and always!

[@oldstonewellfarm]

Wow! God is good! And amazing that you got this video in your feed. I am so glad you found peace and comfort on this Christmas. Life is not easy...especially as we get older, and no one really seems to talk about those challenges. You are certainly not alone. Sending you many Christmas blessings...and lots of hope and love in the New Year!

[@maryohare4141]

I lived in a remote Appalachian mountain area, with my husband...for 30 years. We grew and preserved all our food, as well as hunted and fished. We heated our remote home with an outdoor wood furnace, cutting the wood from our forests. We both loved our life together. It all changed in an instant, when my husband died from a freak farm accident on our land. I had to make major life decisions while in deep grief and shock over his horrid death. I kept my faith strong, asked for Divine Guidance, wisdom, courage and strength. I FELT the love and strength of God and His guardian angels...and slowly built another life, far away from my much loved homestead lifetime with him. It was truly a walk of Faith with Jesus carrying me a lot of the way, but I am determined to be humble and thankful for my own life and to remain close in Faith.

[@oldstonewellfarm]

Thank you for sharing. Sadly, farm accidents are all too common. Prayers for you and continued blessings. May God's grace and love continue to surround you and carry you.

[@carlamcgee3769]

A beautiful and true word! I’m 71 and have spent holidays alone or with my single daughter and it has been such a meaningful celebration! Being thankful for what we have is the key …thank you Lord for sending your Son to bring us a relationship with You!

[@oldstonewellfarm]

Blessings to you!!

[@MeganSmith-xx2ih]

Like some other commentators, I feel that the Lord brought you to my attention exactly when I needed it. You are a light, you warm and cheer and comfort. My husband is dying of cancer, and I have been full of fear and anger and sorrow, I could not see a future. You brought God back for me, I feel less lost, and that a good life is still possible. Thank you. How wonderful that I sit here in England, and can be reached by a good soul so far away. Something to be grateful for already. Happy New year.❤

[@oldstonewellfarm]

Thank you for reaching out and writing!! Yes, we might be miles away, but God still works through us. I am holding you and your husband in my prayers.

[@juliecris-dg2bk]

Thank you....I have no family and fur babies anymore. I do have Jesus in my heart. Sometimes it is hard to talk about having no one to share the holiday with. I remind myself that Jesus is always with me.❤

This Christmas was my first without my husband, as he passed this past April. I know he is with the Lord & I am at peace with this knowledge. I have grown closer to the Lord & treasure my time with my daughter & grandkids more now than ever. God has given me his peace more now than before. I treasure the time spent with family but also treasure my alone times with my Lord more.

[@joypwc8402]

I too lost my dear husband this past April 😢. My world is still very much upside down and I can’t seem to get my head around the fact that I will go into the new year 2024 without him and have few plans that will excite me. But I am still so blessed that I can turn to my wonderful memories of our years together and all that we did see and do. God was/is so good to us both🙏🏻🙏🏻.

[@oldstonewellfarm]

I am holding you in my prayers. The losses in our lives become even greater at the holidays, that is why I believe we need to remember always that we are NEVER alone. Emmanuel, God With Us. It is in our seasons of losses that God promises to wipe away our tears and bind up our broken hearts. Blessings to you.

[@oldstonewellfarm]

I am holding you in my prayer as well. And you are indeed blessed to have those wonderful memories to cherish. Our loved ones are never far from us as they are always in our hearts!@@joypwc8402

The only thing i really love about Christmas is Jesus ,the music + Lights !! Im not a decorater at all. I find it stressful. I am married today to a wonderful Christian man but have said goodbye to close to 200 friends, family that i loved immensely + am so very thankful for their life. Living in the country does feel lonely at times. What a wonderful video presentation!! Much love to you all. Jesus loves you ! I love Him becsuse he first loved me Pretty soon we will all be with our Lord in His glorious presence forever ! I imagine we will have times of being alone with Jesus which we will cherish in addition to eternal reunion with our beloved ones.

[@daughteroftheblackmadonna8936]

My husband and I were moving over Christmas. From Washington state to Massachusetts. Back to New England and closer to family. Lost my sister in October and I’d like to closer to my other sister. But my daughter is in Texas and I haven’t seen her in years. I have that ache of missing everyone, and the ache of feelings like I missed Christmas this year. I’ve been playing Christmas carols and found your channel and it made me cry. Thank you for this message. Blessed be.

[@gplourdes]

A word in due season. Thank you. It took me a minute to snap out of disappointment with family...'cause "expectations" have been "dashed". But then, took a shower (tmi) while listening to classic Christmas music I've been avoiding, danced a bit to it while cooking myself a nice dinner then snuggled up with my three fur babies. As long as Jesus is with me, I'm not alone. P. S. Good word "reframe ". Something to remember come next year's holidays...and whenever "expectations" arise. God be my focus.

[@oldstonewellfarm]

[@eyesofblue1050]

I enjoyed this so much. We celebrated as a family without extended family. It was my husband and I and our 6 children and our dog. It was nice and quiet. No drama. No one coming to dinner late. We had snacks at night and watched a Christmas movie. It was perfect. Same thing for NYE. The 8 of us. God is so amazing. We enjoy the quiet. As I grow older, I'm accepting who God made me. An introvert. I don't need tons of friends, I don't need social gatherings. I need God, my husband and kids. Now granted, my kids have social lives and do have friends over and they go to their friends homes. They are social where I am not. God bless you. Thanks for such a wonderful message.

[@oldstonewellfarm]

I am so happy you enjoyed this message!!! It is quite acceptable to be in introvert. I used to wonder if there was something "wrong" with me because I preferred to embrace the quiet. But God has made us each perfectly unique! Blessings to you and your family!

[@lianeabeyta4515]

I don't feel sorry for your quiet Christmas. Your quiet Christmas is in a cozy cabin with a spouse you love and who loves you. And for this yes, you are blessed. And although we all are, some people are truly alone at this time. Some have lost spouses, some lost children, some never had any, or any siblings. It's hard not to feel the loneliness. The Cobbler story has been made into a song by Reba Mcentire called The Christmas Guest... makes me cry everytime I play it each year. Hearing it in song is so powerful.

[@oldstonewellfarm]

Thank you! I need to listen to Reba's rendition of the cobbler story. Blessings to you!

You certainly helped me put proper perspective on my needless worries. God is all we need. 🙏💞 Thank you!

Christmas becomes "Christmas" for me in that moment at church on Christmas Eve, or rather, midnight Christmas morning, when we light candles and sing "Silent Night". From my vantage point at the front of the sanctuary, as a member of the choir, I watch the Light spread and see all of the beautiful faces, and hear the old, simple hymn being sung, and that moment is Christmas. We have a wonderful family and we celebrate in all of the usual ways, and we are far from alone. Yet that one moment in its simplicity is all I need.

[@oldstonewellfarm]

That is so beautiful!! And so true that that is the moment "Christmas" becomes "Christmas." I, too, have always loved seeing the light grow in a sanctuary and seeing the beautiful faces...so many expressions. Thank you for sharing! And thank you for bringing back memories of Christmas Eve candle lighting for me as well!

[@apt221bbakerst]

I always have Christmas alone. Never married, no kids and at this time my friends live in other states. Last year I bought a small artificial Christmas tree that I placed next to my fake fireplace and this year I bought multicolored colored lights for it. I simply played instrumental Christmas music, had the tree lit and my Nativity candles turned on, made my favorite dinner and had a quiet Christmas with my cat. For me, I embrace what I have been given - roof over my head, food on my table, my cat who keeps me sane and the nature outside my apartment. I actually prefer a quiet Christmas.

[@oldstonewellfarm]

The world really does its best to make being alone something to dread...when it isn't. I got married later in life and so I know what being alone is all about. But even though I am married now, I find I still celebrate Christmas "alone." My husband is not into Christmas. He is not a Scrooge, he just doesn't get into all the hype. So when he is at work or when he goes to bed, I get to turn off all the lights, light my candles and listen to all the Christmas hymns that I love. I used to feel sad that I was married and still having to do all this by myself, but only recently I have accepted that we are two different people and now I embrace celebrating in my own little way...alone. Even filming this video, my husband didn't come with me out into the woods. But again, I have come to accept and embrace it. Blessings to you!!

[@sheila1013]

Yes me too. I am divorced, have no children and no siblings. I have been invited to spend Christmas day with my friend for many years but I prefer not to impose on people and happily stay at home.

I am blessed to have children who want to get together for all the holidays and long weekends. We celebrated Christmas together - two daughters, son-in-laws and a nearly 2 year old grandson. We have another grandson due Jan 12th. We didn’t over cater with food. Roast pork, 2 salads and a potato bake, dinner rolls and a pavlova covered in cream and fresh berries for dessert. Dinner was oven baked, herb crumbed fish with another salad and leftover potato bake. Christmas pudding with cream and custard for dessert. The perfect day with no squabbles or fighting. We played card games in the evening. I am blessed. 🥰

We should have simple life all year and listen to Jesus christ all year You have to know him to be content in the simple things.

Thank you for this video. It certainly resonated with me. My husband and I are alone. During Christmas dinner I told him I didn't want to celebrate Christmas next year in the usual way. I don't want to put up boxes and boxes of decorations, or go crazy buying gifts. I just want to celebrate the religious aspect and forget the commercialism. I find myself comparing my life to others and not measuring up, and I don't want to live like that. I rob myself of simple joys that are so meaningful. Thank you so much for your inspiration.

[@oldstonewellfarm]

You captured what I was trying to say beautifully!!! I am smiling because this is the first year I didn't decorate the tree. I just have a star and white lights on it. I wondered if that was "sad" what I was doing, but I decided that is what I was happy with and so it was okay not to do something just because I felt I had to. Be in the God moment...which will look different from the world's moments. Blessings to you and a Merry Christmas!

I know it’s a couple days after Christmas but I needed to hear this. I spent Christmas alone yet again - I have 2 twenty five year olds and they choose to spend Christmas with their dad every year instead. I don’t put a tree up anymore but when I was a kid at Sunday School my teacher told me that the gift God gave us on Christmas is a gift we should celebrate everyday of the year and we don’t need all the decorations. I have embraced this idea my entire life. I live on the other side of the country from my other relatives which makes me alone on most Christmases as well. I do spend the holidays with my 2 cats and that’s enough for me - I hope to add a puppy in 3 years after I retire. Because of my career field I get to retire before most people my age - that’s a blessing in my book. Every time I go to the general doctor I see on the paperwork that she marks me as being depressed - I didn’t even know I was and the doctor never even mentions a word about this to me but yet writes it down. People think your depressed because your alone but to me being alone is peaceful with less drama and most people don’t remember why we celebrate and the meaning of Christmas in the first place.

[@oldstonewellfarm]

Thank you for sharing! And I am so glad you found the Christmas message from Old Stone Well Farm! Onward we go and I hope you continue to be blessed by this channel. I, too, have a cat...and a bumbling Bernese Mountain dog. They are a handful. Blessings!

[@MoonSpinners]

This popped up in my recommended vids and I’m glad it did! It’s my 8th year alone, (except for my cat) and I’m ok, but others aren’t ok with me being ok being totally alone!

[@oldstonewellfarm]

I am so glad you came to Old Stone Well Farm!!! It is okay to be alone...many people don't understand that. Blessings!

[@MoonSpinners]

@@oldstonewellfarm …thank you 🤗🇬🇧

[@mrsdashwood9700]

Can’t thank you enough for this video!!! I’ve done nothing but grumble and experience depression about my circumstances during this Christmas season, but your video has shown me the light. The True Light!

[@oldstonewellfarm]

I am so happy to hear that! Thank you for watching!

[@valerieirvin249]

[@oldstonewellfarm]

[@BethRitterGuth]

I also Love Laura Ingalls Wilder!!! She was so happy for the people who would come at Christmas, too. Such a beautiful message. I just found you, and I am so thankful!

[@oldstonewellfarm]

[@mandyxu7095]

Merry Christmas🎉🎉I fully agreed with you. Embrace what I have and Christmas is what we make it in our hearts❤..just simple and quiet..

[@oldstonewellfarm]

And Merry Christmas to you!!!

[@gardenbun]

Thank you for this! That fireplace/fire is so beautiful! I used to feel ashamed that I was alone and would often fib when people asked me those questions about family leading up to the holidays. It took me decades to be all right with, and even revel in being alone during holidays.
