I pretty much opt out of Christmas, don't see family or do any of the traditional Xmas stuff. Usually I end up going somewhere because staying at home alone doing nothing when almost everything is closed for two days is kind of depressing too.

I'm kind of an extrovert so the thought of spending two days Netflix binging is pretty unappealing; can't even doomscroll since no one is posting content lol

Does anyone else do the same? Any good alternative holiday-time traditions you enjoy? Or places you'd recommend visiting? I do like nature quite a bit so dont mind belong alone out there and thought about car camping in the southwest (I'm in Vegas for reference).

    I used to go bowling on Christmas, but then my bowling friends went and got families like jerks.

    Indian restaurants are still an option - Chinese food is too cliched of a Christmas dinner.

    Something else I like to do on holidays is read / watch something Big that I've been putting off. One of my favorite Thanksgivings was spent watching the full-length version of Fanny and Alexander. (Which is more of a Christmas film, but nonetheless.)

      Indian places around here are packed with Indian Christians on Xmas.
