So what would you be doing and where would you be going?
I have been hosting X'mas eve parties for a couple of years, fun but tiring & stressful for me. Therefore this year, I decided not to host any parties and skip all the familiar faces & routines for a change.
However as the date is drawing near, I realised that I have no plan or clue on what to do at all. Stuffing myself with snacks in front of the tv seems pathetic. Any suggestions?

I agree. But.....
If they are not Christians, then it's just another gazetted holiday for one of the other religions for them and doesn't have the same significance as it does for Christians. After all, it did start out as a pagan holiday on the winter solstice.
Just feelin' ornery this morning cause I gotta work and don't want to!

Probably put some free movies (thanks, Google Play) on the Chromecast.

LOL @ the illegal plan! I don't think it would be that easy thou.
I guess I will either make a nice dinner and chill out at home or attend a small gathering at my friend's place.

You do realize you're admitting to do something illegal on a public forum where anyone with basic internet skills can easily deduced what your real identity is, right?

I do, but if I never post it (the act of doing the thing), or never got caught, there's no telling whether I did or did not do it, right? Therefore, no prosecution is possible. Am I right?
