Christmas for One is a poetry collection for anyone who has faced the holidays in solitude-by choice or by circumstance.
Through lyrical, contemplative verses, these poems trace the quiet arc of a solitary Christmas: the empty chair by the fire, the ornaments that carry untold stories, the silence of a phone that does not ring. Yet in the hush of absence, small comforts emerge-a cup of tea warming tired hands, a candle that whispers back, a morning sun that breaks through the snow.
Divided into five parts-The Quiet of Loneliness, Remembering, Melancholy as Companion, Small Solaces, and A Quiet Hope-this book offers both a mirror for grief and a lantern for the road ahead.
Whether you are a widow(er), a traveler far from home, recently separated, or simply seeking company in the stillness, Christmas for One is a gentle companion for the season. It honors sorrow, embraces solitude, and reminds us that even in silence, light endures.
A tender gift for yourself or for someone you love who might be facing Christmas alone.
