I have celebrated Christmas alone for years and I do stuff that I know will make me feel good on Christmas Eve and Day that will make me feel good, I prepare a meal Christmas Day that I would normally not have because it is somewhat expensive but so is fixing a whole turkey dinner with 5-6 vegetables and about anywhere from 2-8 things for dessert. So go ahead and if you like steak and some other fixings to go with it go ahead and get that for your Christmas dinner and get some junk food for Christmas Eve or you could reverse that, have the major meal on x-mas eve and have the junk food on x-mas day. I found that it was really nice because I had nobody on my case about what I was eating or anything and also you can watch whatever you want and not have to fight over what is shown on the tube. Have fun and Merry Christmas.!

Christmas isn't about being with family or friends, though it is great when that can happen.
If you have nobody special to spend the time with, why not spend it in giving the gift of caring to others? I know that isn't the popular answer. We are all supposed to be about self-gratification; what do I want, what can I get, what will make ME happy? It may sound trite and old-fashioned, but since you're not doing anything else anyway, where's the harm? You certainly won't feel any worse than you already do, and if it doesn't do anything else, working at a mission or soup kitchen, or handing out toys to underprivileged kids will make the time pass faster. And who knows? You just might stumble across the best Christmas of your life!!!
God bless and keep you. (The day really is supposed to be about His Son, you know.)

Positive thinking attracts positive things. Be positive, love yourself before anybody else will love you. Could you like somebody who's always depressed?... A Christmas with yourself could be the best you can do at the moment, but would it really be a wasted one? Spend it making yourself look beautiful, think of a new haircut, new dressing style, maybe a new job! Don't worry too much, be POSITIVE and do something about it! I was on my own for the past 3 Christmases and I decided to work every Christmas Day. Last year, just days before Christmas, I was invited to spend Christmas Day with one of my firends' family. I met Him there and we've been together ever since. But I've always been positive and taken things as they came. I wish you all the best and a very Merry Christmas with your LOVELY self! xxx

Why not? I have had Christmas away from my family before, when I was in the service.You can celebrate alone or call a friend. I have also spent several New Years Eve's alone and I celebrated those by myself. too. It's better than letting yourself get all depressed. Do something for yourself.

Do you want to? Of course you do... but we all have our own wayof celebrating. I'm chinese, we don't have Christmas, however, I do have some toys that I donate to my local police sponsored toy drive, I got some cans of food I haven't gotten around to eating in 3 months that will go to a local homeless shelter, I call a family member or friend I haven't spoken to in a while... I heard it's called the gift of giving or something like that... If you're talking about putting up a tree and decorating and making chocolate milk, go ahead, it's your home and your life, whose to say what's wrong with that?

Celebrate with friends and family. If that isn't an option, do something for yourself that is fun. Go on a mini vacation, for example. There is a lot more than just traditional activities to do.

You can't spend it with friends or family? You could volunteer for the homeless and you wouldn't be alone. If I ever decided to spend it alone, I would make sure the fridge is stocked with every one of my favorites so I could munch and drink whatever I wanted. You could rent movies you have always wanted to see, or you could pick a project that you have left unfinished and try to complete it for the day. There are lots of things to do. What do you usually do when you're alone? It is, after all, just another day!

Treat yourself to something special, have a special Christmas dinner. Enjoy the freedom - no one to argue with - you can do what you like, watch what you like, when you like.
And if you really don't like the thought of being on your own why not volunteer to help out one of the charitable organisations or a hospital.

Honey, I understand. After celebrating several lonely Christmases, I've learned to do what makes me happy. Buy yourself something you really want and spend a warm, comfy night doing something you really want to do. Pretty soon it will be over, and maybe next Christmas won't be so lonely.

Why not cook a Christmas dinner and invite a friend that would really make a difference. Merry Christmas.
