It's great to meet so many here who are spending Christmas alone; I feel like I am in good company. It does hurt that my blood family ignores me and doesn't seem to even recognize my existence, but I prepare as well as I can for the day and a half of "shut down". What works the best for me is to make it as "normal" a day as possible. Getting into Christmas songs and stories on TV just makes me sad for what I once had and lost.
Here are a few things I have done Christmas-es past and then this year:
I found a group of disadvantaged kids that were having a big party thrown for them, and I did face-painting with them.
I drove my cat to an animal rescue group, where the caretaker was herself alone for the holiday, and while my cat hung out in the car (he liked the ride),I went in and gave her a hand.
Although not Catholic, a co-worker invited me to go to church with her, and I did so for the experience.
I went to an Alkathon meeting. Although not suffering from alcoholism myself, I have been to other 12-step meetings, and here were a group of people who really understand the stresses of being alone for the holidays. (An Alkathon is usually held in a church basement where you gather for food and community, usually available at least 24 hours at Christmas time.)
I took a really really long hike and communed with nature.
This year I put out an ad that I was looking for a holiday student assistant who could help me with my small self-employment business. I did get one response (cross fingers) and hope that I can just make it a normal business day, to take the stress off other days ahead. I also do have the opportunity late Christmas night to go to a Chinese restaurant, complete with piano bar, to celebrate with my best friend. It may or may not happen, because he is with family, and sometimes can't break away, but something to at least look forward to....if not that night, then another.
If I think of more ideas, I'll come back....

Oh thats too bad.
I can't imagine what it feels like to be alone TOTALLY ALONE not even for a day.
I'm always surrounded with people,like my husband's family,my Mother ,and if noone else,then I always have my three daughters who are the lights of my life 24/7.
But for you,I guess all of your hard work and studies will pay off in the future.You will have a GREAT life in the future,that's for sure.
Good Job ,for staying in school,congradulations,and good luck!
Don't worry,your future is FULL of happiness and great joy,you will get your piece of cake and will be able to eat it to,.
I admire people of sucsess like you!
I'm wishing that you will have some close friends with you when you do celebrate Christmas though!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Sorry to hear that you will be alone for Xmas. I had to do it once or twice when I was in the service and didn't like it.
Have a Merry Christmas anyway
