Go any other week. Celebrate Christmas how it's supposed to be celebrated: eyes closed and prostrated, alone in a current of memory and visions of what is to come.
just have some tea with your roommates and watch the world go by outside your window. work On a project you have been meaning to. wear the poncho your roommate got you as a present
Why only celebrate Christmas with your extended friend group during the one week everyone is busy? Set your group’s handmade gift secret santa (that’s a rec within a rec) for an Italian restaurant in late January. Get wine drunk and give each other things you’ve made and bask in love.
