Stuck at an apartment when your family is home for Xmas? Theres an app for that.

I agree with Hawk here, just Skype your family and attent your family gettogether over the internet. Yea you don't get the pleasure of opening the presents with your own hands, but you can still experience it with your family. Plus you can record it for the future!

Where the hell are you living that you can't even get out of your house? :3
It can't be that bad, can it? I would suggest you go and buy some Glühwein or something else you like and make yourself comfortable.

Personally, I still wouldn't want to forget it was Christmas. I'd recommend putting on some Christmas music to get in the spirit, and sit down with some hot chocolate and a good book/movie/show/game. And give your family back home a call to wish them a merry Christmas.

And if all else fails,

Well well well, I made some Spaghettin Bolgnese as suggested. Well, still sad but no longer hungry. I'm currently in the process of legally obtaining all seasons of Boston Legal, always found it funny when it was on TV. Also I think there was a WWE PPV a couple days back, maybe I can obtain a legal copy of it too.

Apart from that - I got my friend Jameson right next to me ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jameson_Irish_Whiskey ). Some power metal is running to lift my spirits, and I have the internet. God that will be awful days. I cranked the heater up to max though so I can run around in underwear while there is roughly 80 centimeters snow outside.

Try to skype, or some other video chat, with your family during the Christmas celebrations. At least you'll get to see them and talk with them. Hopefully, they can cheer you up.

I've spent the last 3 christmases or so alone, and this year will be no different - it's no real reason to be sad. Unless you're super religious or whatever, it's just another day, so do whatever you would normally do to entertain yourself.

If they made a German version of "Bad(der) Santa" I guarantee you won't be sad if ya watch that.

It sux to be away from family during the holidays, but it's more depressing when you suffer from cabin fever. You feel imprisoned and isolated, I'm sure.

There's several great ideas posted here to lift your spirits, but you can always choose to just feel sad and wallow it for a while. Have a pity party. I love doing that. lol

I didn't know there were people who enjoyed seeing family at Christmas. I thought it was a universally loathed experience.

Optionally, if you really hate the idea of being alone you could invade one of your friend's Christmas dinners. Christmas spirit and all, I'm sure you've got at least one friend who'd let you come.

If Christmas is just another day for you, why not treat it just like another day? Enjoy the break from work/school/whatever and just follow your normal routine, maybe treat yourself and see a movie or something. Play some games. *shrug*

As far as I'm concerned, Christmas is just another day where most people have an excuse to spend lots of money. I'm not saying that like its a bad thing, but rather, if you miss out on it, consider your wallet heavier.
