How To Survive The Holidays As A Single Person

How can a single person survive the holidays?

I think single people can do what they prefer to do on the holidays. So they can go to the parties or the events that interest them and not get dragged to their spouse's company party which can be a real drag. They can also do something that they've always wanted to do and never quite made the time for. During the holidays the people I feel sorry for are the people I see when I walk into a holiday party, and you see these couples and you just know they're hanging onto each other just to have someone to be with over the holidays and they are going to drop that person like a cherry Bon Bon that fell on the floor as soon as the holiday is over, and when I see them I feel sorry for them, and I feel proud of myself that I can walk into a holiday gathering and I don't care how many people in that gathering are couples. I am happy on my own, and I'm happy that I can go to a social event and socialize and be friendly and have a good time and then go home and have my solitude. I feel that I get the best of both worlds.
