With a huge part of my following being single ladies, as recent poll showed - I couldn't mis out on wrapping up this post! Whilst Kate Winslet's character in The Holiday implies that being single at Christmas is worse than realising someone else has polished off your turkey/stuffing leftovers, in reality, December as a singleton can actually be quite magical. Hear me out babe...
1. Your time is all your own, baby! We’re talking excessively long lie-ins, hour-long baths, Christmas films afternoons and days on the sofa galore.
2. There’s no pressure to spend time with their in-laws and extended fam you really don’t vibe with. Sorry Janet your bubble and squeak isn’t as good as you think.. :/
3. Your legs can remain unshaved under your Bridget Jones knickers and shapeless pyjamas without a second thought.
4. You can post all the Christmas glam thirst traps your heart desires.
5. You can enjoy quality time with your family and friends without having to juggle another person’s schedule too.
6. Revel in having more money for your own presents - duh! Jo Malone candles and White Company PJs are being added to basket as we speak.
7. Is there any time better than a flirty Christmas romance with the hometown love interest that pops up once a year? Locking eyes across the pub in a wine-induced haze is the stuff of winter dreams. Alexa, play 'Tis The Damn Season'.
8. There’s no need to pretend you like the lacklustre present from a significant other with zero taste. It might sound harsh but are you ever going to wear that fluffy cardigan? No.
9. It’s time to bash out all the TV series you’ve been meaning to catch up on this year without waiting for your significant other to be available too. Next episode please.
10. Relish in the love for the festive season and all it has to offer that doesn’t rely on someone else. You are 100% complete on your own and don’t let romance films make you question otherwise!
11. Lap up the time to reflect, journal and look back on your year whilst making big and beautiful plans for the next 365 days centred around you and your happiness.
