I am in the same boat as you. Add to that the fact that it seems like the entire world comes to a standstill on the 25th and I hate that. And the TV schedule gets all screwy. Typically I just hide at home pretending it is just another day and catch up on previously recorded shows.

This year, I have been convinced to go see Sherlock Homes in SF with some browncoats. I'll see how it goes.
