What can I do on Christmas by myself?

Go see a movie you have been wanting to see.

If you want to volunteer, there are probably shelters in your area that will be serving Christmas dinner to people. That would be a worthwhile place to volunteer.

let me see there are a million things you could do..get yourself some yummy food, make it yourself, order a takeout whatever, drink some nice wine with it, watch a nice movie you’ve planned on watching for sometime now, have a nice hot bath, the buzz of the wine probably got you by now, while you’re at it why not make yourself happy(pleasure) in the tub ;). Goodnight the people you love/ mum, dad whoever and have a good night :) ENjooy!!!!!

I’m a guy….

and whoa

The year I spent completely alone I had a commercial boarding kennel and I was fully booked so I didn’t have much time to think. When it was all over I wondered why I had dreaded it so much. It is just 24 hours and really no different to get through than any other 24 hours. I had a couple of friends, single people, who always worked at a soup kitchen. Not a religiously affiliated one, and found it to be a really good experience. They came away with a lot of good feelings. Some of them were guys too. If you live in a city there are probably dozens of places. In a smaller town, check around, you will find something. If you are an animal person, shelters are always short handed over the holidays also.

You will make it and be stronger for it, cuz once you are past it, you never have to be scared of being alone again.

@simone54 oops!!!! umm well…i didn’t know but hey, i tried :D

@rooeytoo Yeah last that part… I was just thinking the same exact thing. I’m kinda glad I have to do this…

You got it mate, good on ya!

Get in touch with yourself.

Volunteer, helping someone on Christmas gives you the happiest of sensations. (Screw that, helping someone on any day gives you the happiest of sensations!)

This will be my first one totally alone also. Reading some good book, listening to classical music and probably getting quite drunk.

Where is your family?

@Cotton101 All gone now,

@stanger….your family or Simone’s?

Nobody is alone with Fluther. I could spend hours on this site.

@Cotton101 Mine. Sorry, I didn’t know who you were referring to. :^(

Can WE trade places??

Make a schedule of things you can do to fill up your day. Volunteering is a great idea! After you do that for a while, watch your favorite Christmas movie and bake some cookies. Go for a drive and look at the lights. Call your family and friends and wish them a happy holiday. Indulge in your favorite hobby (playing guitar, building model cars, doing puzzles). Get some iTunes, play some stupid flash games online, and come see who’s on Fluther! Also, I see nothing about @cold_cut ‘s suggestions that you can’t do. Even your penis can have fun in the tub, dude. Go for it, and make it your own. Make the whole day your own, not just the masturbatory bath.

First, start your Christmas Day by going to the church of your choice. after this, everything else will fall into place.

I’ve often wanted to have nothing to do on christmas, just treat it like a normal day.

Although, I assume you actually wanted to do something.

Christmas day the movie Nine is being released, if you like that sort of thing. Or, rent some movies to watch at home. Volunteering is a very nice thing to do, I would guess a church in your community could help direct you to wear your help would be welcomed. If you are Christian maybe go to a church service, even if you have not been in a long time, to see and be with others.

Also, if this was Saturday June 17, it would be no big deal. You would probably be happy to have a day of rest and get some stuff done around the house. Maybe make it a productive day by cleaning out your closets and files, so you get that great feeling or organizing and clearing out, and then treating yourself to your favorite cheat meal. Don’t let the label “Christmas” make you feel like you are missing out on something.

I am not Christian and generally Christmas is the most boring day of the year, especially when I was young. Everything was closed, and my friends were with their families. When I lived In FL we went to the beach sometimes if it was warm. This year I am going to Vegas.

June 17 is the day my family was murdered. That I why am I am alone this year. I think June 17 will be awful. Thanks!

not really though

Simone, many years ago was working a hurricane in Texas, Galveston….and it was Thanksgiving Day and we had to drive to Houston to find a Burger King that was open…so, my Thanksgiving meal was two Whoppers..loll..so, i understand your feelings, but it so shall pass.

@simone54 You freaked me out for a second! Also, does your family live in a different city? Is that why you won’t be able to see them? I think you should spend time on Christmas planning your next trip to see them. My husband and I are not going to see his family on Christmas, but will in just over a month. It will be more convenient, a better time of year for us, and less expensive. And, go ahead and make one of the dishes you typically eat on Christmas so you don’t completely miss out on the tradition. Or, go out for Chinese.
