The holidays are a time for people to enjoy each other and have fun. You can eat a little more during the holidays and not feel guilty. You can spend your money on others or yourself and also not feel guilty.

The holidays are just a happy time of the year, they are simply wonderful! However, when it comes to going on cute dates and receiving presents from a lover being single just doesn't cut it. Here are the seven reasons why it sucks being single during the holidays.

1. You don't get a kiss under the mistletoe

When you are single you don't get any kisses and you certainly don't get a kiss under the mistletoe. Being single sadly means no affection whatsoever.

2. No cute couple pictures

You can take holiday selfies, family pics, and group pictures but of course, you won't be able to post a picture of you and your significant other when you are single.

3. No dainty jewelry from a lover

Have you ever seen a necklace on someone and asked where they got it and they respond by saying their boyfriend/girlfriend gave it to them. Unfortunately, if you're single you won't be getting any dainty jewelry from a lover this holiday season.

4. No holiday-lights dates

Every year around the holidays there are light shows in parks, neighborhoods and even zoos. It is always a cute date to go see the lit up and festive holiday lights. However, if you are single you can go with friends but the romance will just not be there.

5. Singing "All I want for Christmas is you" and no one singing it back

Mariah Carey's "All I want for Christmas is you" song is a classic holiday favorite and it's even better when someone sings it back to you. Imagine singing this song with your significant other, Hashtag, couple goals! But of course, when you're single this is not your reality.

6. Cuddling alone

During the holidays, it can get a little chilly and having someone to cuddle with is ideal. But if your single your cuddling buddy is probably your blanket.

7. Playing in the snow with siblings instead

It is always cute to have snowball fights, build a snowman, or make snow angels with a significant other. If you are single, then you probably just have to play in the snow alone or with your siblings.

If you are single, like me, during this holiday season do not fret. Being single can suck but always remember to have fun and enjoy the holidays no matter what.
