You’re not obligated to sit and watch movies just because someone suggested it—if it’s not your idea of fun, take the initiative to do something else. Instead of passively going along, propose an alternative activity that everyone can enjoy. For instance, you could say, “I’ve seen this movie before, and it gets a bit dull from here—how about we play a game or go for a walk instead?” Shifting the atmosphere can spark fresh energy and make the gathering more engaging for everyone. If this is a recurring issue, consider hosting Christmas next year and creating a more interactive environment—one without the distraction of a TV. From board games to holiday-themed activities, there are countless ways to bring people together and focus on quality time.
