Or give up a Christmas one year and work at a homeless shelter like Crisis. Opens your eyes massively, you get to meet some really cool people (alongside the more "colourful" types), is pretty good fun, and educates you properly about stuff like drugs and alcaholism more than any other way possible. Would do it again in an instant if it wasn't for my line of work and parents getting old (need to be around them at Christmasses now).
