Solo RVers away from family for the holidays

A companion thread to the other current one :).

Solos, what are you doing for the holidays? Do you ever get lonely?

I spent Thanksgiving this year, and Thanksgiving and Christmas last year, at the family gathering of a friend I was visiting. But, as someone said elsewhere, that can be kind of awkward when you don't know the people.

I don't feel like I can do volunteer stuff because of health issues. I wonder if there would be more holiday social opportunities at an RV park or LTVA? Or maybe there, too, people mainly party with folks they already know?

I am kind of shy in person, which doesn't help. I'm outgoing and often exuberant with people I know, but sometimes/often find it hard to chat with strangers.

Anybody else struggling with how to do this?
