[quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry you're dreading this, OP.  I had a Christmas eve by myself a few years ago (different circumstances --  work and logistics meant I couldn't join my family until Christmas afternoon).  Here are my suggestions:

Go for a long walk.  Maybe along the river.

Bake cookies for friends and neighbors.  Bar cookies, like shortbread, are super easy and there are so many varieties, savory or sweet.

Go to a church. Even if you're not a regular or a "believer" (and, believe me, there are plenty of folks there who are not), you might find some peace and uplift in attending a service.  At the very least, there'll be flowers and music and people-watching.

If you like to cook, make yourself a nice dinner.  Or, order out, or my suggestion would be to pick up some charcuterie or appetizers from a nice take-out market.  Either way, put on some music you love.

Watch a movie -- something funny or a classic or maybe a non-Christmas movie that has a Christmas scene -- e.g., Sleepless in Seattle?

Read a book or maybe re-read a book you've loved.

Go to bed early.

However you choose to spend the time, OP, I wish you a Christmas of peace and hope.   [/quote]
