1. Spend Christmas serving dinner to less fortunate.

I can keep coming up with ideas all day. One year when I was in Texas, and all family was in the Pacific NW, my DD bought a gift card from Walmart, and had everyone take what they would have spent on gifts or greeting cards and put it on the card instead. Imagine my surprise when I opened the Christmas letter to find a gift card with enough on it to go buy an inexpensive sewing machine! I moved to Texas to care for my sister while she went through chemo, so I did not have a machine I could use since said sister's idea of sewing is to say "Kelly can you fix this?" Lol! If you need other ideas, just PM me.
