And vegetarian Spanish cuisine is very nice indeed! I must admit over the years I've spent a few Christmases by myself. In Timor-Leste I simply went to work (because, good lord, there was so much work to do). At other times I have just ended up in such a situation.

I try not to make a big deal of the day; I guess in part because it was always low-key when I was brought up. Some of my friends however (txxxpxx for example) put on the sort of show that boggles the imagination. Very impressive, pure artistry!
