1. Volunteer
Go volunteer at a food shelter or help out at a charity so you’re spending the day doing something positive, helping people who need it. Check your local homeless shelters and non-profit organisations for possibilities.
2. Go for a hike
Grab some friends, rent a cabin and spend the weekend at a national park. That way you won’t have Christmas trees, glitzy lights and Christmas adverts in your face and you can have some much needed R&R.
3. Order Chinese takeaway
Most people will be having Christmas dinner so the takeaway shops will be pretty empty. Take advantage and order Chinese while you enjoy a Sunday night movie marathon.
4. Take a trip to Ripley’s Believe it or Not!
Open 365 days a year, Ripley’s Believe it or Not! in the capital is a great place to visit on Xmas day. As soon as you enter, you’ll be in awe at Ripley’s bizarre collection of artworks, amazing facts and crazy challenges.
5. Bake, bake, bake
It’s therapeutic and relaxing plus there’s nothing quite like a freshly baked cookie or cupcake on a Sunday.
6. Use it as a catch-up day
The perfect day to catch up on all the things you’ve been putting off – or – things you’ve been wanting to do for a while.
7. Spend time with family and friends
Just because you don’t celebrate Christmas, doesn’t mean you can’t spend the day with family or friends. Spend the day playing games, watching movies, cooking or doing nothing – together.
8. Pretend to be a tourist
Tourist attractions tend to stay open on Christmas day, especially in London. Find out what’s local to your area and chances are they’ll have special Christmas hours. You can also take advantage of the small crowds by checking out a monument or historical landmark for free.
