Get outside
Most attractions are closed on Christmas Day, but that doesn’t mean that you have to say indoors and be bored. Use the day to get out in nature if the weather is agreeable; it’s one of the best times to stroll through a local park because not many people will be about.
Catch up
Use the day to be comfortable on the couch and catch up with some of the stuff you have missed in the busy work year. Watch some of the best movies, binge some of the best shows, read one of the best books!
