Stay home, take food to a homeless shelter and have a meal with them. They WILL appreciate it. OR - go to a nursing home and find people who will talk with you as if they had known you forever. You will see some sad situations but know that you made some people happy, and that will bulldoze any sad feelings. Arrange to meet with your father at a time that his life is not being so controlled by his new wife. Eating with those who have less will give you much to be thankful for.

excellen idea from reward yourself
Nursing homes DO need so many extra hands at holidays to help with those who do not have family. After my dads Alzheimer's got to the point I could no longer take him out, I ate with him in th NH and helped feed others, spend sometime with them, etc. They really do appreciate your time and the best reward is the loving smile they will give you while making your heart feel fantastic!

Some companies also pay a reward for that recognition. sm
Webmedx pays a small bonus for MT of the Month.

On Survivor, they eat rice or corn for days or weeks. They win a reward and eat pizza, greasy
