I spend most holidays alone (and also live alone), because others' expectations overwhelm me. I also don't give gifts because of extreme anxiety about whether the recipient will like it, if it's the right color or size, ad nauseam.

HOWEVER...listen to THIS!! I've decided to help an organization serve a hot turkey dinner to the underprivileged in my area! Yay! No long-term commitment, no isolation, and hopefully worthwhile to boot! Maybe try something warm and fuzzy like this?
