Still don't have any plans for Xmas, and it's creeping up on me.. Any ideas that don't involve flying somewhere (can't afford it)?

Alternatively, can you come up with some wacky stories I can tell people when they ask so I don't have to mumble something under my breath?!!

So you are hinting that you are available for the cost of a ticket?

Your family is a long way away and you aren't seeing anybody. That takes care of 90% of the ideas.

Spend the day at home. Take a long bubble bath. (make sure you bolt the door)
Curl up with a good book, or get some movies (there are some great suggestions in the Christmas movie thread).

Or, alternatively, get together with some friends who also don't have families that they "have to" go see.

And if asked, just say the truth. Who knows, you might get invited to join someone.

I've got no plans either. The gf is going to Venezuela to spend Xmas with her family. I'm on call so I have to stay close to work. Probably going to spend the day chilling in the apartment. TX needs an Xmas boogie!

I got nuthin

Do what my Jewish friends do. Go out for Chinese food and then see a movie.

Drop some hints to friends that you'd love to join them for Christmas dinner. (Prime rib at our house, and if you show up at the door, you're welcome to join us.)

How about your jumper friends. Anyone doing a "orphan" dinner? I used to go to those on Thanksgiving when I was a single jumper.

This year, I have to work from 11:30 pm Christmas Eve until 5:30 am Christmas morning. Crappy hours, but I'll get to guide Santa along on the radar scope.

You could come and see my family, but it won't be any fun (luckily none of them read these forums!)

Volunteer at a shelter serving Christmas dinner. I bet you'd enjoy it!

Great idea! I'm looking for shelters in Ft. Worth to see if they could use me (and my turkey fryer if need be)

You can come over to my place. The British accent on chicks is hot. I'd totally love to bag a British chick.

That's awesome. Let us know if you do it and how the experience was!

If you are hot for British chicks, then why are you hitting on a French-Canadian?

I was just going by what the profile said. I didn't know you could be from one country and move to another one. This is really sad and depressing. I thought I was hitting on a Brit.

Careful Shroppy - you're coming dangerously close to comparing me to a pile of dirty laundry!!!

Yeah.. I really like Andrea's idea. Even if I can't volunteer for serving xmas diner, I'm sure there is *some* sort of charity work I can get involved in. I used to do lots of volunteer work at old peoples' homes.. Little things like playing the piano or just going to visit some people I got to know over time.. Lots of folk in there don't have any family left, or else nobody visits them
