All I can say is, one thing that makes me glad to be single this time of year is that I don't have accommodate 2 church services and 2 (or more) dinners to try to please everyone's family... Nor do I have to buy presents for a boyfriend, his 3 sisters, 2 brothers, very-picky-mom-who-doesn't-like-anything, Dad-who-always-drinks-too-much-eggnog and already has everything, 8 in-laws, 3 children, 4 pets...
'Tis the season for giving. In lieu of having a significant other I would be otherwise be shopping for, I gave MYSELF the gift of 3 new books (after making a donation to my old orphanage, of course) and I am going to savor every single page as I sit by myself on Christmas day eating my homemade shrimp alfredo.
Happy Single Holidays, everyone!
(Yeah yeah yeah, I wish I had someone to spend the holidays with too. But hey... it's all about trying to make the best of it...)
