No one should ever be alone on Christmas.
These are the times that we extend our lives beyond "social acceptance", we forgive and remember that there was a time, some small point in your life where you loved this person, that everything and anything was what you would have given them; and if you let it, for a brief moment, you can get that feeling back. At this time of year, everyone is looking for that feeling, it's not about ex-boyfriends or ex-girlfriends, its about sharing a couple of hours with the people that bring out the best parts of you and show you, if only for a little while, how important you are to them and to the world, that at that moment, you are important and loved, just for being you. It's about friendship and recognizing that people are just people and it's okay for them to be exactly who they are, and if who they are affects you negatively, then you walk away, but if they affect you positively, why let the past stop you from being where you might want to be, stop you from being happy, even if only for a little while.
I never let the past stop me from doing what's right in my heart. And I never will. Don't let it stop you either.
