My own honest opinion is that money should never be a factor in holiday celebration. Obviously there are alternatives to this. Spending time with your family and friends is far more important than any monetary purchase.

Outside of love, time itself is the only gift that is worth giving. There is only so much of them and every millisecond of them is more precious than diamonds.

That's my opinion, anyways.

A white elephant party is always fun. Each person brings something from home that they already own but don't get much use out of--old fondue pot, ceramic figurine, whatever. Wrapped is ideal. Then you pick the order of people to go, and the people get either to choose a wrapped gift, or pick someone else's gift.

It's a fun evening, with stuff you already have, and it's amazing how one person's cheesy gift that is gathering dust at home is someone else's awesome new thing.

Actually the best way to celebrate is to go and volunteer at a homeless shelter or your local church. There are a ton of people out in the world who don't have family or friends and all they have is their local shelter or church to go to. Helping them is celebration enough (in my opinion)!

I am spending no money this year. I bought my presents using a free gift card that I won. My typical holiday celebration is to walk the doggy to see all the Christmas lights, pop open something special (a bottle of wine that I acquired two weeks ago from hosting a dinner), and being as obnoxious as possible wishing strangers Merry Christmas. Truly enjoyable! I also stuff my pockets full of granola bars and I offer them to any homeless people I see. It's quite fun and meaningful for me. My pricey activity is the granola bars, which is about $5.

I agree, time is an excellent gift. Spend time with family. Offer to clean a house, or tidy a garage (everyone has a room they're avoiding) Offer to baby sit. Volunteer. Time is exceedingly precious. You'll be surprised how grateful someone will be for your time.

Connect with friends and family.

If it's gifts... Give the gift of time. How can you give your time to the gift's receiver? This is great for kids. My oldest son gave his younger brother an hour of helping him with a computer game. Brilliant!

I was going to post a similar answer to connectedgeek so I'll give another idea.

It won't work if you have no money at all, but a very inexpensive gift would be framing a picture. Many people no longer print their pictures because they are all digital so for 29 cents you can print a picture at CVS and buy a decent looking frame for a dollar at one of many stores (TJ Max, marshals, kohls, etc.) and give that as a gift. It isn't exactly homemade but for $1.50 you can have a personal meaningful gift that lasts a lifetime.

Honestly, try to find out of anyone you know has any Christmas parties coming up and see if they will let you be their date. Watch A Christmas Story or National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation tomorrow. Get a comfortable blanket and curl up. Eat too much. Relax (unless you are on pager duty... ARG!). Call family members if you can, or set up your computer to make some PC based calls if you don't want to spend too much on phone bills. Even host your own get together, and ask people to bring their own food or beer (probably a little too late, but a lot of people like to house hop on Christmas).

This year my wife made a ton of homemade gifts, which is always good. She went to Michaels and made a bunch of great stuff. You can easily learn to make some gifts if you try.

Otherwise, I'd just rent a bunch of movies and try to forget that Christmas is happening. Maybe bury my head in the sand, and a bottle of Grey Goose.

Well for gifts.. make homemade ones from stuff you already have.
Invite friends/family over.. Have a pot luck where everyone brings a dish. :)
