In my case of Eid which I do not celebrate it grandly, my sister came by on eve of Eid, so that the next day which is Eid... She spent it with her late husband family. I think in a new generation where those living in the cities and parents in the cities, the parents if still capable, could get their own gang of mahjong to go over not to feel lonely. But those who aren't IT gadget savvy or lack of friends, will surely feel lonely.
