For The Girls Who Don’t Have Anything Special To Do For The Holidays, Here Are 5 Things To Get In The Holiday Spirit

This is a response to 50 Things College Girls ~Actually~ Need This Holiday Season Instead Of A Boyfriend.

Every time October comes to an end, young adults brace for the return of "cuffing season." The colder months bring with them a surge of single people looking for a partner to spend the holiday season with. Enduring images of a cute, bundled up couple ice skating hand in hand or drinking hot chocolate by the fire in matching pajamas fill our heads.

These are nice fantasies, but even for those of us who are coupled up, they're not always reality. Sometimes you might have a partner who doesn't enjoy the holidays, or gets too cold to go ice skating, or prefers to go out on the town instead of staying in by the fireplace (which you may or may not have). But that doesn't mean you can't enjoy the holiday season!

Whether you're single or simply always looking for a way to be festive, here are five solo date ideas to try this holiday season.

Have a pajama movie night.

34. Go watch a movie or host a movie night

This idea needs no explanation. Make some popcorn, gather your favorite snacks and drinks, slip into your coziest pajamas and cuddle up on your couch for a relaxing night in. You could even light a holiday scented candle for some festive ambience. Watch whatever your heart desires, or choose from a selection of classic holiday movies!

Go gift shopping
