Being Single During the Holidays
|
|
Once again the holiday season has begun. For some Singles, this can be a frustrating time. For others, it can be downright depressing to face the holidays without that special someone.
I would like to know what you think and how you feel about spending the holiday season as a Single.
I appreciate your comments about how you feel about the holidays and how you deal with them. Thanks so much! Michelle E. Vasquez, Your True Love Relationship Coach

The holidays are already stressful in and of themselves, dealing with family and gift buying and all that. I always looked forward to the holidays, because my birthday is right before Christmas. This year I turn 37 and I am feeling badly for being single at this ripe old age. The thing I hate the most is when my grandmother on my dad's side starts asking me if I'm married yet. Well, at least I don't have to pick out a present for my non-existent boyfriend or husband! Sigh. Cold weather is very romantic - I like snuggling with someone special to get warm. When there is no one, I just feel colder. New Year's Eve is the most lame of all. Not having someone to kiss makes me superstitious that it's going to be another long year without love. Then there's nothing to look forward to, really - because not too long after New Year's is Valentine's Day. Don't get me started on that!
Heather, you hit on some key stressors, namely the "why aren't you married yet?" question and the New Year's even kiss. I hadn't thought about Valentine's day, but it is part of the 4 months of one-holiday-after-another.
Thanks for your thoughts, Heather. Michelle

Well when it comes to the holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas I usually spend it at my sister's house. Our family and her husband's family is there. I usually feel good..I'm not stressed out that I'm not in a relationship. Mainly cause everybody there has had a whole lot of relationship problems! I'm the only person there who doesn't have a track record of failed relationships. So I feel pretty good about that. In fact I remember when my brother in law's father asked me when I was 19 if I was gonna have any babies! Me and my mom both said Hell NO! LOL. Its funny but at the same time sad cause this poor man has 2children who had babies when they weren't ready to deal. And now 2 of his grandchildren had kids when they were kids themselves. To him it just seems like the norm. Anyways I do get a lil sadden when like I go Downtown to look at the christmas tree they have set up and wish I could spend it with somebody. Kind of like a change of pace....Really its saddness of boredom. But this christmas I kno I'm gonna be feelin' pretty good. Cause I'm doing something special for my mom. So I'm looking forward to seeing her happiness on xmas.
I guess the only holiday that really bugs me is Valentine's Day. Cause that is really focused on being wit somebody! Although I have notice that Hallmark is coming out with cards that instead of wishing your lover a happy Vday, they have some for friends and family. I usually send those out and I have a lot of friends I tend to get a lot of 'love' back so makes the holiday easier to stand.

Angelique, focusing on other people and their enjoyment is one way to create happiness in ourselves, especially during the holiday. I'm glad you have found something that works for you. I also like your plan for Valentine's Day! Michelle
