So how many of you here have ever spent Christmas alone due to family being too far away, etc?

My parents live in China and my dad is just too exhausted from travelling to come back over here (he travels about 10 months out of the year for his job). I can't go over there to visit as I have obligations keeping me here.

Does anyone know of any fun activities to do on Christmas day?

The only Christmas I spent away from home was in a few years ago in Australia. It was about 25 and pure sun shine so some friends and I had a bbq in the park down by the river...Due to our lovely weather here, I'm going to say thats probably not an option. But you could always take a nice winter walk. And I think the movies are open on Christmas. Although I'd find that kind of depressing.

I have before, and I will be this year. All my family is over in India shopping for my sister's upcoming wedding.

I've usually just hung out at home, and waited till my friends were done with their xmas stuff. This year I might just ask if I can go to a close friends house and if I can spend xmas with them.

If not, clubs, Chinese food places, and movie theaters are open usually. Seeing a movie on Christmas day with the theater empty, is a pretty cool feeling.

I've always wanted to go to an Indian wedding - Bobby you know you want to take me with you

Actually Xmas is pretty big for the theatres.

They always have new Releases that come out on Xmas day.

This is my first Christmas ever apart from my family, but I'm the one away, so I won't be much help on what there's to do here.

Aw, no friends to spend it with?? My bf's family are so awesome...last year they invited a couple of our buddies over for Christmas dinner, cause they didn't have any family to spend it with. Awwwwwwwwwww.


Annnnnd this is my first Christmas "alone", but I'm going to have my mom and sister come here.

the best thing is to spend it with a family of someone close to you

I think you and KaiLee should share Christmas together. What do you say Kailee?
