Single for the holidays this year? Are you dreading the questions from your relatives about your love life? You see all these couples spending the holidays together and they're so happy out doing the normal holiday couple stuff. But there's no need to worry. If you really think about it, spending the holidays single is actually pretty awesome.
First of all, it's one less gift you have to buy. If you don't have a significant other, you obviously don't have to get them a gift. Since you have one less person to buy for, then you can save that money that you would've spent on them. Maybe you can save up for a vacation and head to the beach this summer.
You also have less gatherings to attend. When you're in a relationship you usually have to attend both your family gatherings and their family gatherings and sometimes each family has 2-3 gatherings. So, if you have a significant other, then you're pretty much doubling the amount of holiday gatherings you have to attend.
As for New Years Eve, I think it's more exciting when you're single. Sure, in a relationship you know who you'll share your New Years Eve kiss with and it'll probably be really special. But, when you're single you get to experience the excitement of not knowing who you'll kiss at midnight. You can also stay at the party you attend for as long as you want and not worry if your date isn't having a good time.
You can do what you want through the holiday season, which in my opinion, makes it more fun. You don't have to compromise. You want to go to a giant party on New Years Eve? Do it. You want to drive around and look at all the Christmas lights? Do it. You want to listen to Christmas music 24/7? Do it. There's no one around that will stop you.
If you want to still do the romantic holiday stuff, you can do that stuff too. Again, no one is stopping you. Going ice skating, going to the zoo for their light show, or getting your picture taken in front of your town's giant tree can be just as much fun with your friends or even alone. You don't need a significant other to make the holiday season joyful. All you need is you.
