1. It’s cold as heck

Giphy

With coldness comes desires to have someone to cuddle and stay warm with. Seasonal affective disorder, anyone?

2. ALL. THE. COUPLES.

Giphy

It almost seems like everyone around you is dating, and you're just a little, sad potato. And mind you, a lonely one at that. Must be nice!!

3. Family reunions can be a real pain in the butt

Giphy

Do relatives have to ask if I have a boyfriend every single time we meet? Please stop asking! The answer is no!

4. Too many decorations

Giphy

All the Christmas decorations, trees, and tunes would be so much better with a significant other, but nope!

5. Christmas movies are all romantic!!!

Giphy

On Netflix, nearly all the movies are romantic, and it makes you feel that much more single!

All in all, just because you're single doesn't mean you don't have people you love in your life. Enjoy being single during holidays! #betterlucknextyear
