‘Our Christmas Day community party’

Christmas Day is a joyous occasion for many but for some, it can be a lonely time.
A corner shop in Twickenham has been opening its doors on Christmas Day for 25 years to help combat loneliness. Meet and Deep Newsagents have noticed an even bigger need this year, as people are struggling to paying for food and heating.
It all began one Christmas morning when one of the owners, Pallu, was woken up by a local questioning why they were shut. He’d just moved to the area from a country in Africa and desperately wanted an international sim to call his mum and wish her a Merry Christmas. The man was so grateful and from that moment, Pallu realised how much people rely on their convenience shops.
For years now, they’ve invited locals over for a Christmas drink, snack and they love doing it.

[@majorskies7091]

I'm alone on Christmas but that isn't different than any other day. My family jusf absues me and doesn't care about my feelings and they have expectations of me I'll never be able to reach... but of my alternative life style. I just want to burn bridges and move far away.
