Alone at Christmas?

First of all, well done for putting your dogs first! The first Christmas of the pandemic I too was on my own and pretty miserable, but for me the consolation was that I did not have to put my lovely Hattie into kennels! I only had her for another 4 months after that which in hindsight makes it all the more special.
How does one cope?
Do the things you want to do - a lie in, a gentle dog walk, a bit of telly (dogs snuggled up beside you) eat what you want, when you want and just think how much they will appreciate having “Mum” at home with them.
Try not to get too down about it even although you have surely earned a bit of spoiling - just indulge yourself!

Can you afford a hotel, maybe with a spa? Are you outgoing and would enjoy people watching in the bar for a cocktail and then the restaurant? If not, would room service with your feet up on the bed appeal? Watching Christmas programs on the TV, maybe after a luxury bath?

I’ve probably got it all wrong but do wish you a lovely day however you choose to spend it.
