5 Reasons Why It’s Great to be Single At Christmas
If you’re busy wishing you had a significant other this Christmas, there’s actually plenty of reasons why you should enjoy being single at Christmas. Yes, that’s correct, forget cuddling up in front of a roasting fire, kissing under the mistletoe, and exchanging gifts. Here’s just a few reasons why you should rejoice that you’re single over the festive period.
Reasons To Be Single At Christmas
1. More YOU Time
Whether it’s hitting the sales, enjoying a boozy brunch with friends, a night out drinking and dancing or a night in with a Boxset or movie, you have the freedom to do whatever you want! You can relax, unwind and re-charge those batteries and don’t have to worry about having to pack your time off with tagging along to your dates family engagements.
2. Less Presents to Buy
Just think… you don’t have to fret over what the hell to buy your date. What present will send the right message about how serious you think the relationship is, will it be liked and will be in the same vein as what you’re like to receive? Trawling the internet or shops for hours looking for inspiration can be better spent planning your party nights out instead!
3. More Family Time
You can concentrate on spending QT with your own family instead of having to split your time between two sets of relatives, which can be stressful and complicated, especially if you’re from opposite ends of the country. Why not take the opportunity to get in touch with those more distant relatives you never quite have time to get in touch with, or help your mum peel the spuds!
4. No Meeting the Family
and this works both ways! You don’t have to worry about how your date will react to your family’s prying questions about ‘the future’ of your relationship and whether you’d like kids one day, or Auntie Maureen’s sherry addiction. Similarly, you don’t have to worry about meeting your dates potentially dysfunctional family!
5. Party On
Christmas parties, office parties, new years shindigs, and festive dating events are all up for grabs! With the mistletoe and good cheer all around, it’s a great time of the year to be footloose and fancy free and single!
