How to Spend Christmas Alone: 5+ Fun and Meaningful Tips for the Holiday
Chommie, spending Christmas away from your family for the first time? Oh, I get it, it can feel a little meh. Trust me, I know the struggle. You’ve probably been going up and down trying to figure out how to pass the day and kill that boredom, right? But, don’t worry, I got you! Seriously, in this article, I’m about to drop 5+ solid tips to help you turn your Christmas solo into a day full of festive vibes. Let’s get this party started, chommie!
1. Set Your Own Christmas Traditions
Okay, so you won’t be having that big family dinner this year, but that doesn’t mean you can’t create some epic solo traditions! You can go as simple as putting up a tree (yes, even a mini one works) or creating your own holiday playlist that’s just your vibe. Have fun with it! Maybe even treat yourself to a new tradition—like having a special Christmas breakfast in your favorite pajamas. Why not?
2. Cook Yourself the Christmas Feast of Your Dreams
You’re not cooking for a crowd, so why not go all out and make that meal you’ve always wanted? Whether it’s roast chicken, that one dessert you’ve been craving, or maybe an over-the-top hot chocolate—make it a treat, chommie! Enjoy every bite without anyone hovering around asking for seconds. Oh, and don’t forget the Christmas cookies… you know you want them.
3. Virtual Christmas Hangout
Okay, so you’re far away from your family, but that doesn’t mean you have to miss out on the fun. Get on a video call with your people—whether it’s a group chat with friends or a one-on-one with a loved one. You can still exchange holiday jokes, share what you’re eating, and laugh about the little things. Not the same as being together, but close enough!
4. Spoil Yourself with Me-Time
Since you’re spending Christmas solo, treat yourself like royalty! Take it easy, chommie. Start with a relaxing morning—sleep in, grab your favorite breakfast, and let yourself just be. Pamper yourself with a mini spa day, binge-watch your favorite holiday movies, or dive into a new book. It’s all about giving yourself that well-deserved break.
5. Get Creative—Start a Christmas Project
Feeling artsy? This could be the perfect time to get crafty! You could decorate your place with DIY Christmas decorations, start writing a short story, or create a scrapbook of this unique Christmas experience. Not only will it help pass the time, but you’ll also have something cool to look back on.
6. Reach Out & Spread the Cheer
You might be alone, but that doesn’t mean you have to spend the day isolated. Check in on friends or family members who might be in the same boat. You could send a cute Christmas message, or better yet, make a funny Christmas video for your loved ones. A small gesture can go a long way to lift both your spirits and theirs.
7. Take a Christmas Walk
Go for a walk to enjoy the Christmas spirit around your neighborhood. Whether it’s the Christmas lights, decorations, or just the festive mood in the air—get out there and take it all in. Sometimes, a simple walk can make the day feel more special, plus, you’ll get some fresh air.
8. Reflect & Set Intentions
Christmas can also be a time for reflection, chommie. Think about all the good things this year brought, the lessons, and the moments that made you proud. Jot them down in a journal, or even write a letter to yourself about your hopes for the new year. It’s a little self-love moment that can help you reset and get ready for what’s next.
So there you have it, chommie! Christmas away from family might feel a little off at first, but with these tips, you can make it an amazing day that’s all about you. Who says solo Christmas can’t be just as festive? You’ve got this! Let’s rock it, chommie! 🎄🎉
