I'll be spending Christmas alone this year and I'm wondering what people's opinions on that are.
I'm asian so my family never actually celebrated christmas the traditional western way, but it's always been a family time.

I've recently moved to london, far from home, my flatmates will be heading back home and despite an invitation to come along, I'd prefer not to intrude into family festivities.

What sort of things have you done when spending christmas alone? I guess it's hard for u guys to suggest anything since you are mostly in US (i'm in London, UK),
but any suggestions as what i could do?
the most obvious i can think of is volunteering. and I've made an application to help out at homeless shelters.
but I also want to have other activities in mind that I can engage myself in, (suggestions other than the obvious go out to bar/club).
