Excellent ideas, Berrybean.
In case I have to be alone at Christmas, I have a list of things to do, gleaned from online: Christmassy or other favourite dvds and music; the special festive foods I want to eat, or keeping it simple if I choose; a wrapped gift to myself; getting outside in Nature; having beautiful seasonal decorations and flowers; can't recall the rest of the list at present but it can be a happy and uplifting time if I take positive action.
