Few people choose to be alone on major holidays.
Cook your favorite dinner, light a fire, curl up on the sofa and watch a feel-good video. Pick up the phone and call a friend who always makes you laugh. Write in your journal, or start one. Get around to projects you've been putting off, such as making a scrapbook of last year's vacation mementos, painting the bathroom or refinishing that antique dresser Aunt Louise left you. Most likely you'll find the process meditative, and you'll have lasting results to show for your efforts.
