If so, you needn’t be!
Ruddington Baptist Church is hosting another Christmas Day lunch for people who would otherwise be alone on December 25th.
Organiser Gwynneth Owen says: “Residents of all ages are welcome – whether your family has flown the nest, they’re too far away, or it’s just ‘complicated’. Come and join us along with other folk for a warm and friendly get together on Christmas Day!”
Doors will open at one o’clock for welcome drinks and nibbles – with Christmas dinner plus all the trimmings being served at around two o’clock. This includes pudding, drinks, general goodies and a chance to be sociable. They emphasise that pre-booking is essential, please.
