Hey Everybody! Christmas is the time of year to enjoy & share with family & friends. Some people will spend this time alone & isolated too!
This is a safe place where people can post and say hello, chat or send wishes to others and have a 'Virtual Christmas/New Years'!
Whether you have plans for Christmas/New Years or having a quiet one you can kick back and just enjoy company of others. Its been a long year. Even if you have never posted on Beyond Blue before you are very welcome to come in and sit around our 'Virtual Christmas Tree' and chat 🙂
You asked for this Paul here it is for all.
Santa (AKA Kanga Peter) Ho Ho! 🙂

Hi everyone,

Love the 80s soundtrack Paul.

I usually dislike New Years Eve. Have never really got into it and for me I usually feel down and a bit hopeless.

This year we actually have plans (usually hubby works and the kids sleep and I am alone). We're taking the kids to a rodeo. I've never been to one. Am looking forward to it.

I love "Come on Eileen" even if it's played to death. Can that go on the playlist too?

Hey Everybody!

Hi Quercus, no worries at all.....I Love Dexy's Midnight Runners....Great Track....and a great suggestion too 🙂

I am similar to you Quercus....its another part of the year when so many are having a good time when others cant do the same unfortunately

Hello to all readers and new posters too!

New Years Eve is coming up and you are more than welcome to say hello and post about what your plans are....whether you have any or not 🙂

I will be looking after my Chow Chow German Shep cross as there will be a huge amount of firecrackers that will go off even though they illegal here in Vic.

If you have a song that you want to add to our virtual party let us know

Thankyou everybody 🙂

I think i may go and turn those coat hangers around now.

Paul if crackers are illegal then why do so many councils break the law every year by putting on fire work displays all over the place. Costing heaps when the hospitals need more funding. We need more housing. The list goes on and on. Yet we still pay for it, and the animals still get scared then they tell us their ones are legal and ours aren't what a crocodile. Or are we being nanny stated still.

Me I will proberbly listening to some Angles, Chisel, Oils, Bee Gees, then throwing the cat a bone, and a saucer of milk, and a fish for the dog.

It's funny how those games on facebook can seem so true. Just did one based on your name of "how will you end 2017?" Mine came back with a sad face with "alone as always". It is true but horrible as well. I'm ending the year alone, not in a relationship. Maybe this time next year, who knows? Valentine's day is coming up fast, not a fan.

I will be watching the fireworks on tv and then head to bed. That's how I will see in the new year, alone in my bed. Sad, but true.

Hey Paul, can we please add 'We are the world' Michael Jackson/USA for Africa to the playlists? The lyrics are the best.

'When you're down and out
There seems no hope at all
But if you just believe
There's no way we can fall
Well, well, well
Let's realize that a change can only come
When we stand together as one' - Michael Jackson/USA for Africa

Princess Belle, I'll be the same most likely here on the forums too. I'm not a fan of Valentine's Day either. Some of us are going to go outside and look at the moon at midnight . Even though we may be alone, we will be united as we all look at the same moon (words from our darling Moonstruck). Hope you can join us.

Hi,

I was looking for an online place for NYE. I'll most likely be home but have been thinking about going for a drive early in the evening. I'm looking forward to 2018. There have been a lot of challenges this year with personal growth but I feel I am slowly learning to do whats best for me.

Happy New Year's Day and New Year's Eve Everyone!

We have invited some friends over tonight and one lot of neighbours as well. We still don't know if everyone will show up, if they do that will be great, if they don't I will just hope they are okay and there will be more food for me! Ha. Ha.

For those of you staying home and maybe alone, I do wish you all the best for the evening. I hope you find a sense of peace and hope, that you can reflect on the year that has been and have a sense of newness for the coming year.

Wishing you all a very peaceful New Year no matter how you spend the time.

Cheers and hugs to you all from Mrs. Dools xxxxxx
