    Me and my family always have lonely people over for Christmas. People I work with who don't have family, and people from my Dad's church who are alone.

    That was what the original Santa concept was for. To give to those less fortunate in a spirit of anonymity. That way they don't feel obliged to pay back, it is a demonstration of unconditional love. Not conditional as it is today on being good. lolz

    Not having a good time is a sin at my house during the holidays. Bring sleeping bags and hangover remedies!

    I pray all the time for people,

    all the time, not just at Christmas

    that they'd be saved.

    apart from giving our time and

    money there is little else we can

    do.

    but I know that once we've prayed

    it'll get answered by God.

    I also pray for the day God will gather

    his children will come soon.

    It would depend if its a case of SAD or if its just feeling lonely for the holidays.

    I donated gifts to charities at the hospital I work at. Donating time at shelters is also good.

    Show kindness and love. Smile!

    Source(s): At times we all go through loneliness and depression.Even when we have people around us. So we draw close to the one that relieves us. Jesus is who he says he is. We will fall but it is God that gets us back up on our feet if we stick with Christ and his word.
