Some people say the holiday season is "the best time to be in a relationship", but for me? I'd say it's the best time to be single. Sure, I've done the whole relationship thing during the holidays, but I've found way more benefits to being single during the holidays. Shoutout to all my single people!
1. You save A LOT of money.
One of the best parts about being single is the amount of money you'll save by not having to buy a gift for your significant other! More money in your pocket!
2. There is no stress on finding the perfect gift for your significant other.
No gift also means no stress on finding the perfect gift that he/she will love. From experience, this is probably the most stressful part about the holidays. But being single takes all of that stress away!
3. More time with friends and family.
Not having to spend time with his/her family means more time for yours! No spouse office parties or awkward family dinners; this time is all about you and who you choose to spend your time with.
4. More food for you!
Probably the best part; more food for you! No sharing leftovers, no fighting over the last of the mashed potatoes and gravy.... and everyone knows I love mashed potatoes and gravy.
5. You get to pick what Christmas movie to watch, without conflict.
No one can argue with me whether Polar Express is the best Christmas movie or not.... which is just the way I like it. Best part? You can watch it five times with three bowls of popcorn and you don't have to slap anyone's hand for taking your popcorn or yell "shh" at someone for talking during the movie!
6. Did I mention you'll save money? Treat yo self.
Money saved = money you get to spend on yourself. You want that gold watch? Go buy that gold watch!
7. No questions about when you're getting married, when you're having babies, etc.
Those awkward family dinners about when you're going to get married or when you plan on having kids are the worst. With no significant other, no need to worry about them! Instead, you get questioned about WHEN you're actually going to find someone.
8. You don't have to act surprised if you receive a shitty present.
We've all had at least one of those presents our boyfriend/girlfriend got us that we really didn't like but didn't have the heart to tell them. Being single means no awkward present openings!
9. Who gets to eat the last piece of Pumpkin pie? YOU!
If being single means there is no fighting over who gets the last piece of pumpkin pie, then I am more than happy with being single the rest of my life.
10. You can sing Jingle Bell Rock as many times as you want with no judgment.
Between the belting of Jingle Bell Rock and All I Want For Christmas, no one yelling at me to stop singing means more time for Mariah Carey Christmas songs.
