How To Spend The Holiday Season Alone

[apexalpha]

If you find yourself alone during the holiday season don't think you can't have fun.

There are plenty of activities that you can do which are enjoyable and take your mind of the fact this time you are not doing the familiar holiday celebration.

1) If you live in a place where it snows you can hire things like snowboards and snowmobiles and have fun in the snow.

2) If you got a decent camera its a perfect time to go and do some photography its less stressful when its quiet outside. It's fairly easy to learn the basics of photography in a couple of hours prior to going out and shooting.

3) If you are not an outdoors person you can stay in and try out some new dishes by cooking them from scratch, learning a new skill in the process.

4) Volunteer, donate your time and do something purposeful with it, you will meet new people and be greatful you have it better than so many.

5) Chances are you are not the only one out of your friends without any plans, check out who is free and arrange a get together. This especially holds true if you are in campus and got exams coming up.

6) Do some DIY in the home

7) Get into a new TV series and binge watch it, or have a marathon watch of all the movies that came out during the year.

8) Come on G@G and kill some time.

I think everyone at some point in their lives will spend Christmas alone. But if people ask you what you are doing for Christmas, tell them. Most people will want to invite you to their place!. The one Christmas, I was supposed to be spending alone, I was invited to four separate lunch/ dinner invites. i did go to all four, and was glad to be home when I was done. But it was a good Christmas!

I wish most people were that considerate

I spent Christmas eve alone with my cat and dog and it was great! I watched A Christmas Carol and cooked my dinner out on the outdoor fireplace overlooking Lake Ontario with a glass of wine! So good! I went down and gave the horses their Christmas treats in the morning and the cat and dog opened their presents lol

I have been kinda 'alone' during holidays for several years now. It doesn't bother me any more. I just sit at home, playing videos games on my PC and sipping on chilled Diet Coke!

But yeah, great myTake. Thanks! :)

lonlyliness can be fun m8

It usually is, but sometimes it can hurt, right? :P

The cure is human contact I only gave you some painkillers lol

Good take , some people are natural loners & do not really want much contact with people , let's be honest , people can be friggin' irritating at times , even own family & friends. Even for a hardcore extrovert , a break from people can be good.

I agree everyone needs space, but get togethers once in a while is good especially if you live alone for most of the year

Coming on GAG and killing time is the way I'm gonna spend my holidays. Appart from playing video games. At least today I did something productive and drew a snowman on the wall.
