Top 10 Reasons to be SINGLE during the HOLIDAYS!!

THE BEST THINGS ABOUT BEING SINGLE DURING THE HOLIDAYS


People get all upset if they have no one for the holidays, but truly, 'tis the season to party! Kick up your heels! Put on that hot dress! Kiss anyone or everyone under the mistletoe! And remember -- anything stupid you do can be chalked up to too much holiday cheer! Merry Merry!


IVillage.com asked visitors to their site: "What do you think are the biggest benefits of being happily single during the holidays?" Here are some of the responses ...

1. No arguments in the car about who said something stupid to whom at the family party.

2. Not having to wake up at some ungodly hour to open gifts and pretend I'm surprised or elated.

3. Decorating the tree in green, pink and purple bows if I feel like it ... or not at all.

4. Not having to coordinate every holiday detail with a spouse.

5. Being able to go shopping and completely avoid Home Depot or Victoria's Secret. Plus, being able to hit every store I want without hearing the whine, "Do we have to go in here?"

6. Spending less money and anxiety on trying to find that "perfect gift." I can buy myself something instead.

7. Because I'm single, I still get as many presents from my mom as I did when I was a kid. As soon as I have kids, I'll get an ugly sweater and slippers from her, and nothing else. I know, because I've seen it happen to my older siblings.

8. I can spend however much I want, have dinner wherever I want and spend Christmas wherever I want, rather than spending time with people out of obligation.

9. I don't have to watch the Christmas football games. I can watch whatever I want.

10. I have more energy and time to put into doing good in the community.


Just Asking ... What's the best part about being single during the holidays? The worst?
