Sad to hear it, its happened to me before. Alone at Xmas can be still be done without to much trouble if you keep yourself bussy and watch good movies and think happy thoughts.
But, if you don't want to CRY the night through, don't watch "Its A Wonderful Life" with Jimmy Stuart. If you do, make sure you have a life jacket. The flooding could be non-stop.
Anyway, have a MERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS.... :-D
