Spending the holiday season without a partner can stir up feelings of loneliness and depression for some. However, being without a romantic relationship doesn't mean you can't have the best holiday! Here are some reminders of why it's great to be single this time of the year:
1) You don't have to stress over what to give your boyfriend or his mom and family members. Instead, you can splurge on yourself. Isn't this a treat?
2) You can go to every holiday party you'd want to go to (and skip the ones you don't). You'll get to meet more people at these social events and it's almost like you're in a dating service. Who knows - Cupid might have early Valentine's Day plans for you!
3) You don't have to split the holidays between your family and your wife's family. Sometimes, this causes stress between couples, particularly for families who are emotionally invested in having you celebrate your "first" Thanksgiving or Christmas with them, according to Bridal Guide. Why would you want that for the holidays?
4) You also won't need to impress a significant other's family. For many women, this ranks higher on the stress list than taking exams and undergoing job interviews, according to Metro. When going around the Thanksgiving table, you know what to say you're thankful for!
5) You have all the time to do what you want with so many holiday breaks looming. You won't have to compromise with travel plans because you can go wherever you choose. You can spend ample time with your girl squad or the bros, without worrying a partner might not be comfortable. You can even binge-watch tons of shows on Netflix while spending the holiday at your parents. Whoohoo!
