Throw a party yourself!
Do you like socializing with others? Do you enjoy the company of your friends and family? If so, why don’t you host a Christmas party at your home? Prepare a party and invite only crème de la crème of your friends and family members, provide them with a party they won’t forget. They will respect your effort and you can expect quite a few invitations after that. People who give love get love. Just remember to stock up on beverages few days earlier, also bear in mind that you need to offer more than one food option and that should be it.
Family only
Another great option is to gather your family and spend the day with them. Remember, family comes first! Always! Blood is thicker than water and you need to take good care of your family. Holidays are the times when you all should spend time together and share the atmosphere and love of the holidays. If you’ve moved away from home just think about how much you are missed. Doesn’t that thought alone make you want to cry? Well, be present, have a lunch or dinner together with your most important people, talk to them, share the love. Remember, everything is better with your family and celebrating Christmas with them is therefore a great idea. Don’t forget that!
Travel
Wanderlusts, rejoice! If you live to travel, you need to celebrate at least one Christmas abroad in some faraway land. For example, one of the most popular destinations during this time of the year is Malta (according to CNN). Malta is a miniscule country in Europe with a special vibe. Every year, its citizens proudly open their shutters to display their holy crib confections to the public. Also, you need to check out the Bethlehem f’Ghajnsielem. This event will blow you away! Also, in Valletta you’ll stumble on carolers singing outside the Baroque St. John’s Co-Cathedral. Oh and wait until you see the Christmas lights on Republic Street.
How about a bar?
New Yorkers know how to enjoy themselves and they are big on holidays. Many of them actually celebrate Christmas in local bars. And if the New Yorkers find it fun to celebrate Christmas in a bar, we all should try it, too. The vast majority of bars are decorated and the spirit of this holiday can really be felt there, too. For example, Rolf’s bar in New York really stands out from the rest due to stunning lighting, decorations and great mulled wine. If you can find something similar near you, you should at least consider this option.
Church
A church is a place where you can truly relax and settle your thoughts, there you can really do wonders spiritually. So, how about you go to your church one evening when no one else is there. Bring a single candle, light it up and sit in the silence, enjoy the peace of the season. Just make sure, however, that it is okay with the church. Ask staff members whether it is possible for you to be there at that time.
Conclusion
There are a few ways to celebrate Christmas and they are all great options. There is no doubt about it. It’s up to you to choose where you want to spread love and joy.
