One often forgotten place to volunteer is alocal Ronald Mcdonald house (not all cities have them.) You can also find a local hospital or rest home & carol there. Many people spending a holiday in medical facilities could use the cheering up.
Christmas morning at our house involved my sister and I waking up around 5am and opening our stockings together on my bed. That is the part of it we both have the strongest attachment to. What we get as gifts and what we do with the rest of the day are much less important. Though the one year our mom didn’t put clementines in the toes of the socks threw us off a bit.
You could cook/bake something special together that the kiddo can help with.
This is a terrific article with some exceptional ideas, kids or no kids. As a recovered Christian, who only recently began to find reasons NOT to totally humbug this month (via such things as copious Family of Choice Potlucks, Wassailing and Solistice’ing), I really can’t add anything. But if you should carol on Christmas to rouse the neighbors, please do call me
