It wasn't ideal, but it's certainly better than subjecting myself to torture, and I will do so for future holidays too.

This is AWESOME! I'm ALL for being pro-active. I've spent holidays by myself before, and like you said, its not ideal, but if you make it into a special day for yourself, it can be a lot better. (And its a helluva lot better than being alone and depressed at the bottom of a bottle.)
OP, think of what YOU want to do for the holiday. Do you like to cook? Maybe you could make a feast of your favorite foods and pig out. A movie marathon is a good idea, too! Maybe buy yourself something special like a new pair of comfy pj's and stay in them all day while you have your special day alone.
