Single with the holidays; this is how you celebrate
Are you single for the holidays? Not to worry, you can still make it a super fun party with your family. It is especially important to know that although that can sometimes feel like you are the fifth wheel, you are absolutely not. With these three tips, you'll survive the holidays with ease. Is a friend also experiencing the holidays alone for the first time? Then we give four sweet gift tips at the end to surprise them with.
Tip 1: Enjoy your single status
During the holidays, couples are put to quite a test. Every year, they have to decide which Christmas day to spend with which family, and this is often accompanied by accompanying tension. You don't have to worry about that at all this year, as you can enjoy your stress-free single status. This year, you choose which day you want to see your relatives and surprise them with presents. Who knows, maybe this year you will choose an extra single solo Christmas day, by diving into a wellness centre or going on holiday alone. Don't feel guilty if you think well of yourself and your own desires during the holidays this year. It should be a celebration for you too!
Tip 2: Dealing with irritating questions at Christmas dinner
Every year, the classic question comes along from time to time. You're sitting with the whole family at Christmas dinner and after a while the question of questions comes along: 'Don't you have a boyfriend/girlfriend yet?' But this year, the question might be directed at you instead of your sibling. Don't let these annoying questions floor you, but instead come prepared with a cool comeback! Instead of answering 'no, not anymore/not yet', come up with a ready answer this year. Let the enquirer know that this is not the time to discuss relationships and that you are not served by these kinds of questions. That way, you have tackled the question at once and you can continue to enjoy the Christmas meal.
Tip 3: Buy the very best gift for yourself
The budget you previously reserved for your partner and his family for Secret Santa, you can now spend nicely on yourself! Buy that one piece of clothing you've had your eye on for a while, buy that one book series you love or go away for a few nights to spend some time alone. It is not at all wrong to pamper yourself once in a while!
Is your best friend also single for the holidays?
Then play their Secret Santa and plant a sneaky present under their Christmas tree. With these four presents, you will go a long way to surprising them this festive season. Show that you are thinking of them and add a personal message with each present.
