I go spend my holidays where there are people. I volunteer to work (hotel/restaurant). I get to be around alot of nice people who are in the holiday spirit. I get free food and get paid time/half. And I don't have to be alone.
I already work a LOT and I don't think I should work more.
The problem is that just about everyone else has family and I do not feel like asking to intrude on them. Maybe I could ask my doctor to induce a coma. Is that ethical for a doctor?
Sure it is, I see average guys with beautiful ladies all over the place. I think the difference is that they asked. They simply opened their mouth and talked to the girl.
I will be completely alone this Thanksgiving. SOmewhat by choice...I don't have family of my own and my daughter will be with her adopted fathers family. I could intude on friends but feel like this is a time for familys to enjoy each other. Friends can come any other day. SO -- this year I will use the time to reflect on the last year and plan the next......and I am boycotting turkey. JUNK FOOD ALL DAY
i spent Christmas Day alone last year, by choice. It is just hard to go and watch everyone get all googly about what their someone special got them and show off, when you don't have a special someone to buy you something! I think the holidays are the hardest time of the year for most singles.. especially when it is still pretty new. And.. I agree that most put too much inphases on the gifts and not what the meaning of Christmas is all about! I got on some of my favorite singles sites last year and just sat around the computer chatting with others that were also alone for the holidays. It was a nice change! This year I will have my kids for Christmas... so it won't be so bad.
