Did u ask young people too? Christmas gets lonely for everyone. We have 52 weeks to plan for company on the big day. I am in my 60s.

Many of us know lonliness for many many years and not just the elderly and not just on Christmas...

Like the other comment said. Not just older people. People these days don’t want to be talked to or even looked at. Best just to be alone. People are so rude and volatile these days.

Younger ppl are lonely too it just doesn't get the same attention.

This is western culture. Older generation get discarded. In most cultures, the older generation is valued and respected till they die. They help raise newborns

Almost as scandalous as the elderly who were left to die alone or denied a decent funeral with relatives and friends the past two years while their 'carers' in the NHS danced in TikTok videos!
