QotD: My Holiday Traditions

Tell us about your holiday traditions. 
Submitted by Talk is Cheap.

1. Make tons of plans, usually holiday-themed, for nearly every night between Thanksgiving & Christmas (sometimes 2 or 3 events in a night) in order to keep busy and forget that I'm alone.
2. Give lots & lots of money/goods to charity - remember how blessed my life truly is.
3. Realize I've spent myself broke. Spend more money anyway.
   
4. Become tired and overwhelmed by constant plans. Cancel all but the most interesting or most boring, depending upon my mood.
5. Wish for death of numerous "holiday drivers" who are out on the road during the hours I drive; hours I've intentionally selected due their usual lack of idiot drivers.
6. Scream. A LOT.
   
7. Go into complete denial about "the holidays". Do whatever - preferring activities that don't have holiday themes.
8. Have a full-scale emotional crash & burn on Christmas Eve/day as I suddenly want to do something, with someone, but find everyone busy celebrating with family and most businesses closed. Watch TV.
   
9. Start discussing New Years Eve with friends in hopes of finding something fun to do.
   
10. Decide all my "friends" are complete and utter retards - especially after learning they've made NYE plans but not included me.
11. Make plans to go out alone on New Year's Eve.
12. Decide I'd rather not be in a club, or on the road, with amateur drinkers and spend NYE at home, alone, watching TV. Go to bed early.
    
13. Call "friends" on Jan 1, hear how bad their overpriced party was, and finally feel some joy.
