Going to be alone on Thanksgiving

Was on the phone with my parents last night talking about holiday plans. They are still in Rhode Island while I'm out in San Francisco. I have a big family so Thanksgiving has always been a nice holiday to spend with them and catch up with my siblings who I rarely see. Last year while I was still at my previous job, I was too busy to go back home but at least I was able to spend Thanksgiving with my Uncle and grandparents who live in Miami.
This year for me to fly back to Rhode Island would be over a thousand dollars, even if I get the flight a week before. I really can't shell out a thousand dollars right now especially since I really want to fly back home for Christmas at least. My roommate who's from San Mateo is going on vacation with his family during Thanksgiving so spending it with them isn't an option either.
So, this year I will be spending Thanksgiving in my small apartment by myself. I don't feel bad for myself because it is what it is, but I don't know what I should do with myself besides watch football and maybe cook something nice. If anyone has experiences spending holidays alone, I'd be interested in hearing them.
