Salaam,
To the brother who wants to skip Eid think of what you are saying. Do you really want to disobey the commands of Allah subhana talla? By going to the masjid you make a path similar to the others who attend. You have made a connection.
By saying Assalaam walaikum to another Muslim you have made a connection far stronger than mere friendship. You have laid the foundation for eternity.

Brother Bilaal went to the masjid and prayed the Eid prayer. He's just unhappy that he was not summoned by the Muslims in his place knowing that he lives alone.
Why on earth are you working on a day that Allah has specified for us to celebrate.
..Because we can't pray and celebrating it with a lot of people is not a must so it's ok to be alone and thank Allaah swt for all the blessings and make dhikr.
