  1. Attend free holiday events in your town, like tree lightings. Or pack family or friends in a car and drive around a swanky neighborhood looking at their Christmas lights.
  2. Bake something using only what you have in your pantry right now. If you only have enough for a half batch, make the half batch and drop it off at a friend’s house with a nice card.
  3. Make popcorn and a warm beverage (mulled wine, perhaps?), bundle up in a blanket or two, and watch a movie on Hulu.
  4. Reread your favorite book. Bookmark your favorite passages and copy them into an email and send them to a friend of yours who might like them.
  5. Get on Yelp and write 5-10 positive reviews of your favorite local, independent businesses. It might not be fun, exactly, but it’s certainly a nice thing to do.
