I'm going to be all alone for Christmas this year. sad, yes. No family in Los Angeles, all friends will have gone home or be with their familys, and both my roommates are gone.

So what can a man do with a whole day to himself with no where to go and nothing to do?

Since I dont know where to source recreational drugs, we'll Drink, eat and watch movies! In my underwear

Start the day: Baileys and coffee. Make breakfast, read the paper.
Mid morning: Migrate to some kind of alchy cider and pop in Home Alone
Noon: Continue with cider or move to a sixer of winter ale and watch Bad Santa. Eat Pizza.
Afternoon: Start/Finish sixer. Watch Christmas Vacation. Call Grandma.
Evening: Crown and water. Watch Die Hard. Eat more Pizza.

Any other festive (but reasonably priced) booze/movies/food combination I may be missing?

I still love "A Christmas Story". Classic.

I'm a wine person myself, so I'd say pop open a fat Barbaresco late in the evening and savor until face meets floor.

I will be impressed if you make it through that list. I would probably want to take a nap somewhere around the middle of Home Alone, sleep for two hours, and then not want to either drink or watch any more.

Watch Gremlins, drink some Kraken rum with coke, and eat some crackers, salami, and aged cheddar.
Also, eat some smoked salmon, tomato, basil and mozzarella on some toasted herb focaccia. Then watch A Christmas Story for the billionth time....it never gets old.

How about finding a homeless shelter and volunteering there for the day.

This is a spin off of an old college game we used to play, "Casemas" (or casemas in july, for those summer months)

One year we had about 10 guys do this in our frats TV lounge. We all bought our own case of shitty beer and we watched x-mas movies all day. We usually got through one movie (ALWAYS Christmas Vacation) before the bullshitting and distractions began. Chug contest, shotguns, beer-amids, it was good times.

At about 12-15 beers someone usually passed out, pee breaks were non-stop, we'd get cabin fever and migrate upstairs to annoy folks. Through the course of a day it wasnt really too tough, just tiring.

So Im doing my own little twist. Cant have a case of beer, but I'll still be living "The (miller) High-Life" Maybe post pics? Lol.

Too cliché.

Lets compromise: HOW ABOUT I invite some bums to MY place and really do it up right! Lets be real: they don’t want Spiral Sliced, Honeyglazed Ham and to sing carols - they wanna DRANK! No handouts here, just camraderie with a mutual interest: a few pizzas, few cases of beer and classic movies (in HD!).

Hmmm… There are tons in my city, so it wont be hard to ahve a real partay
