Alone for the holidays

This will be my first time in 10 years that I’m going to be alone for the holidays. It’s also the first time I’ll be alone for the holidays with a child. I was with my daughter’s dad for 10 years and she’s 3. My life was torn out from under me and I was kicked to the curb. He was having an affair with the girl that he’s currently living with and we all co-parent. I put my feelings aside for his relationship with our daughter. Aside for the couple friends I have I don’t have anybody around for the holidays. How our schedule works she’ll be with him Christmas week. I’ll see her Christmas Day thankfully. How do yall cope with the lonely feeling? I’m excited to make it a good Christmas for my daughter but it hurts my heart to think the only person who will be buying me a gift is myself.
