The people who choose to be alone at Christmas Christmas Day is traditionally seen as an event to be spent around loved ones. But what about those who want to spend it alone, asks Ross Davies. Some would say there is no more poignant festive moment than to hear of a Christmas spent alone. Take last year's story of James Gray, the London-based Irish pensioner who placed an advert in the Irish Post in a bid to find someone to share the holiday with, having spent nine consecutive Christmases on his own. Or the report earlier this year of an unnamed widow, who hired an entire Devon pub so as to host a Christmas lunch for herself and 50 strangers also expecting to spend the day alone. Christmas can be a difficult time for many, especially in the face of ubiquitous reminders that it is the season to be jolly - not to mention the financial pressures that come with it.

It could become law by July at the earliest.

News in brief: November 2011 Published: 27 October 2011 DOI: 10.1136/sbmj.d6934 Cite this as: Student BMJ 2011;19:d6934 The General Medical Council has decided not to register medical students. Registration with the GMC is required to practise medicine in the United Kingdom.
