IN the midst of the holiday spirit filled with Christmas feasts and festivities, this time of the year can also be lonely for people who don't have elaborate holiday plans with family and friends.
Workplaces are emptying out and most people's calendars are being stripped bare.
This is also a blissful sign to kick back and relax!
If you are bored and penniless, don't waste your precious days off sitting cooped up at home. There are many ways to fill your days with fun and affordable activities for you and your family.
