Interactive Top 10 List - Things to do if you don't celebrate Christmas

For everyone celebrating Christmas, this is a wonderful day to get together with family and friends, to exchange gifts and to share a festive meal. For those of us who don't celebrate the holiday, Christmas Day can feel like the longest day of the year. Here is a list of things to do, to get through the day.

This is an interactive top ten list, I've started it off with the first 5. Please add your suggestions to complete the list.

1. Go out for Chinese food. They're the only restaurants open.

2. Plop down in front of the TV and watch a marathon of old movies. Don't forget the popcorn.

3. Challenge the family to a Monopoly game day. See how long you can keep the game going.

4. Go out to the movies. Maybe even catch a "double flick."

5. Spend the day blogging. Save your posts in draft mode and release them throughout the week.

10.

Today my family will build a snowman and enjoy warm drinks by the fire afterward...and I'm looking forward to it.

Vickie- It sounds like a plan - enjoy your day.

One of my all-time favorite ways to while-away the hours on Christmas: take a good, long nap!

In the past we have done the following on Christmas day (in addition to your list)

1. go to the shelter and serve Christmas meals 2. drive meals to the elderly 3. bring small gifts to the orphange 4 go and visit our Christain friends!

Happy Hanukkan

Lorrie- ZZZZZZZ ;-)

Joan- All sound like very worthwhile endeavors. Good for you.

SSSSSSSSSSSSLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG! and recharging...

Settle in for a long winters nap!! We had our Christmas dinner yesterday because my youngest has to spend the afternoon with his father. So, we're all going out for Chinese after I drop him off.

Are they really open ( Chinese), I didn't know that. We sat around with family, their guest and friends that will stop by and share stories from Christmas past, seems like a 100 years of stories. Then we all thank God for the greatest gift of all while telling of one thing that we are truly thankful for this year. I ask for the lord to teach me patience last year and he has truly come through, everyone has commented on how relaxed and patient I seem.

This year and I praying for our leaders and asking for the gift of tolerance. Look out 09 here I come.

Don't forget to watch the Celtics/Lakers game today. ;)

Happy Hollidays to you and your family.

Michael- You should be full of energy for 2009

June- Chinese food - the alternative Christmas Day meal

Charles- I hope your prayers are answered. The world could use good leaders and more tolerance.

Sit and watch "The Christmas Story" and recite all the words, since you watch it over and over each year. At least we do! Its a classic!

Ahhh!! Just take some time off and not think about REal Estate for one whole day! KM

Kristin J- It's scary, how many movies I can recite word for word.

Kristin M- I know turkey is a traditional Christmas meal.....but "cold turkey?" A whole day without even thinking about RE?? ;-)

Mark- I hope your team wins. Happy Holidays!

Marilyn - I've always thought that 25th was the best movie day of the year... I hope you had a good one.

Debbie- This year, we couldn't get up the energy to go out to the movies, so we lit a fire, ate hors d'oeuvres and watched movies on TV. I hope you had a good holiday and are looking forward to a wonderful new year.

Marilyn, there is so much that can go into this list.

Take time out to meditate.

Danny - a good part of meditating was done on the couch...with my eyes closed. ;-)

I am jewish , so by default, I had chinese food,, however, there must be a large jewish population in scottsdale that I dont know about as the movies were packed

James- LOL. Years ago, I was told if you want to find the Jewish neighborhood, look for the Chinese restaurant. As for the Scottsdale residents, they're probably New York transplants.

Rent some of those nasty slasher movies that totally mock Christmas.... like Chopping Mall.

JAN

Georgina- Now, Now. Is that any way to celebrate Peace on earth, good will toward man? ;-)
