I'm spending Christmas alone, and have for the past couple of years. I actually like it I enjoy the break away from people. I agree with BubonicPlague as well - people are to obsessed with buying the next plastic thing that will break apart and fail within five days of use. I think we'd all be better off if we stopped buying crap and started buying experiences and knowledge - things we will keep forever. But then, the jury is out on if I'm insane so take it with a grain of salt
