Being Single At Xmas

Another year and you find yourself still single at Christmas. One positive of that is one less person to buy for. Unfortunately, when you think of most Christmas movies like The Holiday and Elf it usually has a lot of romance in it and the couples get together living happily ever after in their relationships. I've come to realise there's not really a lot of Christmas movies that represent the single people who don't really have a significant other to spend Christmas with. I mean I'm someone who has yet to experience my first relationship so I know it's probably going to be a long time before I even have a significant other to spend Christmas with or if I ever will. 

I don't want to bring the mood down on this post because we can all agree not being in a relationship at Christmas time is very lonely and sad. However, there is not a lot we can do about it unless you're one of those people frantically swiping right on potential partners with the hopes that one of them will pick you to spend Christmas with. I'm not one of those people as the thought of going back to online dating again scares me because twice this year I thought I found someone that might actually want me. After getting friendzoned and being completely ignored. It's hard to put myself through that again because I don't think my heart can take another heartbreak. Therefore, I've accepted my fate as being single for Christmas. It sucks but we move forward and it doesn't mean I have to be depressed this Christmas about the fact I'm single, if anything I should just embrace it as it's normal for me to be single at Christmas. If  anything, single people can have a better Christmas than people in relationships. 

Here's why:

1. Treat Yourself

I'm someone who buys herself Birthday and Christmas presents as I fully embrace the motto of treating yourself. If you've never treated yourself then you are missing out because honestly nobody knows you better than yourself. You know what you love and what you hate. Buy yourself a present this year. It could be something you've been wanting for the longest time or it could be an experience like a trip to the cinema or a night away in a hotel room. Whatever your plan is for treating yourself then just go for it because honestly you deserve it.

2. Appreciate what you have

Honestly it can suck to be single during the Christmas time because couples thrive with their relationships by treating each other and going on dates to the Christmas markets. Kind of sucks when you're a single person. Therefore I highly recommend just appreciating what you have whether it's your family or friends, just appreciate the company you do have and maybe even suggest going to a Christmas market with one of them because at least you can enjoy some quality time together and just realise how lucky you are to have such close relationships whether it's your mum, dad, siblings, friends etc. just appreciate those little moments together and make some memories. They do say you can't miss what you never had and for me I've never had a boyfriend or been on many dates so I can safely say I don't even know what it is I'm missing because I've never experienced it. Either way, appreciate all the things you do have and take your mind off the fact that you are single.

3. Have a good cry day

It may seem melodramatic to just curl up in a ball and cry over the fact you're single or over the previous guy you dated who ended up ghosting you but you saw as someone who could be the one. However, crying is the best way forward because it releases everything that's bothering you and upsetting you. Go all out with the ice cream, chocolate, sad music, sad movies. Go crazy with the crying because afterwards I can guarantee you will be a new person and make you realise that you don't need to be in a relationship and you're better off alone. Try to reinvent your single self by having a pampering session, learn that just cause you're on your own doesn't mean you can't have an orgasm. Become a better version of yourself and make your ex regret the day they let you go. I know it may be a petty thing to do but if your ex saw you as the best version of yourself then they'll be sorry. Just try not to make it too obvious that's your goal because at the end of the day you're bettering yourself for you and not for anyone else, although you'll be able to laugh at the fact your ex didn't break you. In fact they made you stronger.

4. One less person to buy for

Being single is great at Christmas because you don't have to worry about what to get for your partner. Especially in this living crisis every penny counts so save it for yourself instead and don't get together with someone at Christmas. Another great thing is you don't even have to doll yourself up or even shave your legs. It's cold and not having to shave your legs as a woman is really helpful. You also don't have to worry about those Christmas lingerie that we all see every year because quite frankly I can't imagine wearing anything worse. Also the great thing about being single is you can decide how early it is to celebrate Christmas. Just imagine if you're someone who loves Christmas and end up with someone who hates Christmas or it was the other way around. It would be just terrible so count yourself lucky you're the one in charge of when the best time to celebrate Christmas is. Honestly, it's better to be single at Christmas.

There we have it. Those are my reasons why being single at Christmas is great. To all my fellow single people out there. I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and to all the couples, hope you have a lovely day. 

Thank you for reading my blog and I'll be back tomorrow with another post.

See you then.
