First we need to know what kind of things you like to do, whether you have to vacate your accommodation for the holiday period, how far you wish to travel & what your budget might be. Ski-ing in Aviemore comes to mind immediately but you may not want to do that.

Abdullah, you must go to a pantomime. There will be a big one at the Theatre(Sleeping Beauty); and a smaller one at the Arts Centre(Cinderella). The Arts Centre one always sells out.
Christmas is a very family time. Not a lot on on the 24th or 25th.
Hogmanay and New Year is when we let our hair down.
I recall you're in halls on King Street. Is that right? Can you keep them over the holiday?
The Overseas Students Association will be running a programme of events over the hols. The University also has a nine lessons and carols service at St Machar's Cathedral on the Wednesday before term ends. Even tho'/if you're Muslim, I'd recommend you go for the experience.
The Messiah is playing at the Music Hall on the 14th. Go to that too.
If you fancy doing the Boxing Day dip, let me know. I'll come and laugh at you
Hogmanany in Edinburgh is a blast for a young person (lots of drink- if that's a problem for you, maybe no so much). If you want to do it, book hostel places asap. (I recall you're on a budget.)http://www.edinburghshogmanay.org/
There will be a smaller programme in Aberdeen.http://www.aberdeencity.gov.uk/nmsru...1908&sID=11139
The big deal hereabouts is the fireballs in Stonehaven.
Most concerts and things will have student discount if you show your student ID card.
