Fuck the holidays. Maybe moving someplace where I don't know a single person wasn't such a good idea... You know, with the whole "I have the self confidence of a garden slug," thing.
Sorry for being a little bitch. Here's a wallpaper version of the RR Wraith press release from a while back.

Work on your car. Outside. In the snow. After growing out your beard. You feel like a man's man. Even if you're alone, then you just feel all stoic and shit. Double manliness points if you drink whiskey (or a beer before noon) when doing this. Quadruple points if you do this while shirtless. Nothing turns the passerby ladies on more than a shirtless viking working on his machine in a blizzard. At least, that was me this past weekend working on my jetta. I've never before crawled out from a tight space in/under my car and be half-covered in snow before. I felt......alive.
Oooooooh and power tools. Impact wrench! Power drill! Sawzall (because it saws it ALL!) and more! You can't be depressed when using power tools. Fact.

The first part works a lot better when you're someplace cold... and not the dreaded land of Florida.
But it's a good point. Maybe I'll spend some time cleaning the car this weekend.

Use something with power. And be shirtless.

No, don't fake it. Make up a way to amuse yourself - celebrate a different holiday. You usually do christmas? Fuck it, do Hanukkah this year. Or do Festivus and have an airing of grievances and feats of strength near your festive aluminum pole. Hell, make up your own holiday Called Fuckitall day and go do donuts in the park on the third tuesday of december because of "religious rituals".

It's time for Christmas crashers! It's much like wedding crashers, but you crash Christmas dinners and awkwardly hit on people's wives or daughters (I'm not sure how old you are and what age group you are attracted to). What could go wrong?

I usually just fake enthusiasm for holidays, just like I fake interest in what people are saying. I usually end up enjoying myself or learning something in the latter case.

At a friends x-mas party this weekend, one of the guests, a friend of a friend had the whole arrogant frat-boy alpha male attitude goin on. I was talking to a girl I guess he has a thing for and found out she has a degree in M.E. which is what I'm studying so we had a really cool conversation and kept talking throughout the evening. Guess he felt threatened cause he started running his alpha male bullshit on me and at first it started to get to me. Then I realized he was probably the most unconfident and miserable person there. I phased that shit out and enjoyed my evening unaffected.
Just thought I'd share that to point out that sometimes the most confident people that seem to have it all together are just the opposite. Being alone may be a blessing in disguise. Try to find true happiness yourself and people will gravitate to you.

Suggestion? Step back and realize that this may be one of the last times you can spend an entire Christmas dedicated to just yourself. Here is a list of things I would do given your situation.
-Order christmas eve dinner from favorite restaurant.
-Order enough food/refreshments to feed a family all to yourself, so maximum enjoyment is achieved over the next day or two.
-Splurge on oneself, what better way to get exactly what you want? You know yourself better then anyone.
-Skype someone you wish was there
-walk around in bed sheets, because toga
-keep music playing in background to eliminate the hopelessly alone sound.
-play all the video games, or whatever hobbies you do in your free time.
-Watch an entire tv series you haven't yet watched.
-Keep tabs on oppo conversing with the locals.
-if you feel like there is a special someone lacking in your life, browse Jezebel for a few minutes to put you back in the right mind frame.

These are great suggestions. I spent an entire christmas alone in West Africa. I couldn`t do a lot of those things, but I went out to dinner with some people. I suggest you go to a bar and sit at the bar, the bartender will chat with you guaranteed.

Yeah, I bought a Chromecast on Black Friday and basically play Pandora non-stop while I'm in my apartment. That thing is a lifesaver.

Find other things to take your time. I haven't been home or with my family for Christmas in years. It's not really a holiday, just a day off but my job picks up at this time of year so i just use it as an opportunity to get more done.

Here in Norway we have an online central for people that would otherwise be lonely during Christmas, and help them to find a family to celebrate with. Maybe you could pull in an ad in a local newspaper or something, I'm sure someone would help you get a nice Christmas.
