Christmas is renowned as the most wonderful time of the year, but for those who have nobody to celebrate it with, it is more like the most dreaded time of the year.

However, if these people happen to be in Gozo on Christmas Day, they will at least get to benefit from a free lunch, courtesy of pastizzeria Porta Reale!

“If you are alone on Christmas Day, pop in for a free slice of pizza and a pint of beer from 12-2pm,” Porta Reale said on its Facebook page. “You don’t have to buy anything. We are family!”

If you are alone on Christmas and don’t feel like traveling all the way to Gozo, Caritas is once again organising its free annual lunch for lonely people. Last year’s lunch proved to be extremely popular, with around 440 people turning up to share Christmas lunch with strangers.
