There's just something about the holidays that makes us loners feel more like misfits than loved ones. Christmas and New Years' swing in hand-in-hand, sending good luck to those of us just trying to muddle through the champagne and mistletoe without tears. But never fear, us singles have a beacon to get us through, and her name is Mindy Kaling.

"The Mindy Project" star is one of Hollywood's most relatable celebrities when it comes to embracing life. Not only does she talk with (mostly) the harsh truth that we all need to hear, she also makes sure that we understand we aren't alone at all. In fact, it's kind of difficult to feel bad for ourselves with someone like Kaling in our corner. Actually, she makes the holiday season seem kind of fun because being us is more than enough.

Sometimes we feel the same way, Mindy. Us lone wolves really understand you, but let's just talk more about how we can get through this season with your help.

Just let your flag fly at every holiday party this season, and show those couples how much more fun you can have when you're dancing with no cares in the world. When everyone's trying to nitpick this time of year, show them your killer moves.

If you're heading out to your family's annual Christmas party this weekend, and you're worried about the reactions they'll have, just channel your inner Beyoncé Pad Thai, and be your fiercest Mindy.

Embrace yourself, girl. Live by Mindy's words this New Year's Eve and you'll be OK.

Wish everyone else well with their stereotypical, cringe-worthy, couples holiday card that they have to send and be happy that you aren't in the same boat. And if all else fails...

Totally kidding!

If your parents have still managed to get you down about your love life, try guilt tripping them and turning the tables for all those times they made you feel bad for forgetting to take the dog out when you were younger.

Overall, being single during the holidays has its pros and cons, but there's always a way to make yourself feel better. And there's always a way to find a television to watch Mindy on FOX.

This holiday season, be your best Mindy and your best you. Don't worry so much about what your family, friends, coworkers or anyone else is going to say. Life is so much more fun when you're just concerned with having good days and not pleasing everyone.

Happy holidays!
