Hey man listen, all christmas' in your life won't be Good. This is one of them so just write it off as a loss and cook whatever u want because you are skipping Christmas this year.

Mulled wine until you pass out. Only way to Christmas alone.

I hate mulled wine but yeah maybe a selection of booze that will make me pass out or start singing 'all by myself' like Bridget fucking Jones

I'm also going to make myself steak and mashed potatoes because that's my favourite

And a pretend boyfriend out a broomstick.

Around where I live I see more and more people opening their homes to people who have nobody else with whom to celebrate Christmas. They'll be small families typically who take in one person or maybe a couple and let them join in with the food and dancing around the tree and all that. I assume the lonely person helps with the dishes and maybe pays a little for the food or something but it's more or less entirely charity. It's not juust for junkies and drunks either; the news segments etc. I see about it often have pretty regular folks who just don't have a family they can spend Christmas with.
Maybe your area has something like that too? I'm guessing they have facebook groups or something for it.
Maybe you'd end up making some friends in the process. Hell, maybe just find another lonely person and spend Christmas with them if joining a family of strangers doesn't appeal to you.

We've always had goose for Christmas but if I were cooking only for myself I'd go with a duck instead. You can finish off one of those by yourself over a couple days and they're much cheaper than geese.

Doing brunch with family and then I'm alone later. Mom may want to do stuff. Both boyfriends are about and hour away and likely busy that day. I couldn't get either of them to come with me to the mall today to watch people panic shopping.

I got some shit from Trader Joe's last year because I didn't want to cook but I knew shit would be closed. I was miserable until I ate by myself and honestly I enjoyed not having to deal with people or cleaning up pans and shit. I just browsed the internet and smoked some green, nice day.

I see myself spending christmas alone every year in 10 years. If you have friends (i don't) then spend it with them, or you could go hiking (winter hiking is fun). You could volunteer at a soup kitchen or something to help people out. That's what I would do.

First off, realize you're no different than the idiots that run to their family because they're told, "muh xmas, muh brotherhood one day only, muh family who I despise, muh shopping for literal garbage" and insist on fighting, scrabbling and maintaining petty grievances. The human condition is defined as being entirely alone. Embrace it and realize you're superior by not falling for the (((tricks))).

Having said that, I'd roast a chicken, make oyster dressing, roast a butternut squash with a wild rice stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy and a nice ceasar's salad. You'll eat like a king for a minimum of 3 days. And the beauty? You don't have to interact with husks and shells of humans.

I met a rich pally once, he was a braindead aging club kid who loved burning his trust fund on a series of business plans that were so stupid it defied belief. His parents were connected with some company that was famous in palestine (I don't remember the name)

I tried to spend Christmas alone but my mother guilt-tripped me into a family visit and now I get to spend the next few days babysitting brats, running last minute errands, and cooking for everyone like I end up doing every big holiday.
