December in Singapore is like magic, expecially in orchard road.
Perhaps you may want to include some of the suggestion below.
1. Spend some time in Sentosa Island. Cheaper if you pack food there. Weekend are generally more crowded with locals and tourist. Wekkday is peaceful and serene.
2. Tiong Bahru Market. Cheap good local food. Eating paradise. Eat till you drop. Many nice food like Chwee Kwee, Beef Hor Fan, etc.
3. Orchard Road. It is a streets of shopping centre. During this Christmas seasons, the entire streets is lighted up. Good to spend some evening enjoy the magical effect of the christmas lighting.
4. Mandai Zoo. Enjoy seeing the animal roaming around freely in their nice enclosed environment. Next to the Zoo, there's a night safari. Worth a visit.
5. Bird Park. Large collection of birds. See the birds of pray show, parrot shows etc. Enjoy the walk to the largest man-made waterfall, where birds (thousand) flying freely around you. You may feed them with seeds off your hands.
6. China Town. Nice food, old shops (but clean and look new), and good atmosphere.
7. Bukit Timah. Highest point in Singapore. Some expert says it has more species of plant compared to entire north America.
8. Little India.
9. Geylang Serai (Malay Village).
10. Pulau Ubin. Little village, with wooden house. Last of it kind in Singapore. Only village in Singapore now. Good to experience how Singapore was like in the 60's. May bump into tamed wild boar.
Many more attraction. Depend on your time. Almost all can be done below S$30 per day.
Hope you have a nice time. Best come in this period, it is cooling, and have beautiful christmas lighting.

Hmm, meaningful? To me, meaningful means celebrating holidays with family and friends.
1. Go to orchard road and walk the streets where you can see many christmas decorations.
2. If you are a christian or catholic, maybe you can go christmas carolling, to really get into the chirstmas atmosphere.
3. As a family or with a group of friends, go for a christmas dinner and chat all night long.
4. Even better, cook a christmas meal for your family and friends and invite them for a christmas dinner or a potluck session and open a few bottle of red wine and chat all night long.
5. If you like bbq, why not book a chalet and invite everyone for a bbq christmas session?
6. Have christmas dinner and watch a heartwarming christmas movie with friends and family.
Hope it helps.

If your are Singaporean:
Gather some friends, buy some groceries / necessities and pack as gifts, visit the old folks homes....distribute the gifts and sing some songs for them...
It would be very meaningful to see the smiles on their faces....especially when they seldom get visitors.....
If you are foreigner:
Go visit Sentosa, Zoological gardens, Botanic Gardens, Orchard Road...and basked in the festive atmosphere....
Cheers...
