Being single at Christmas

So I was chatting to my gorgeous mother tonight via our daily phone call and I said I'll be glad when Christmas is over...she said why? I just said its all too romantic a bit like Valentine's Day and it makes me feel proper single at this time of the year. Does anyone else feel like this or am I just weird?

Nothing romantic about cooking a load of food for a guy who has conveniently fallen asleep on the sofa...

I've been single for so long now, I am just grateful for the time off work....

But I will treat myself to lots of nice food and drink that I wouldn't normally buy

I totally get it , all the work parties are all about bringing guests, and makes me feel even more lonely

so I focus on my family but it's my year without the children Xmas so it feels even more lonely than normal :-0

I'm no longer keen on Christmas as it is a bit sad when no one is there to get excited with.

We used to have big family Christmases but that's all stopped

I hate being single at Xmas too, as much as I love the festive period it does twinge a bit when I see loved up couples together. My sofa and bed seem a lot emptier

"I thought Christmas was all about the family, not so much couples. "

This.

I thought family was the main focus? Even when I was engaged to Marc we never spent Christmas together because our families lives thousands of miles away and each would be pissed at us for going to one and not the other.

Not a very romantic time of year to me

I'll be spending Christmas with my parents, as my sisters have conveniently decided to both go away this year. I would much rather be spending it alone.

I always found family and kids filled it up so much, that I didn't have time to think about the fact that I was not part of a couple. Last Christmas we had just started dating and so spent the week or so apart, with our respective families, but loads of messages, texts and chats ... we are the family now, but I never feel alone at Christmas.

Yes family is totally important at this time of year, if you have one.

I'm gonna treat myself to a bottle of Marc Jacobs Daisy and new shoes to celebrate my singledomness and when I unwrap it on Christmas morning give praise to the fact that I can pig out on turkey, nuts and stuff and drink far too much procsecco and not give a shit that I'm unloved and unwanted or indeed that I don't love or want anyone.

Merry Christmas!

Don't get me wrong of course it's about families but while writing out gift tags and cards it's all couples and then watching Christmas films they get together at the end....I know it's about family but still doesn't make it easier to know Christmas Day night I'll be on my own....

I do the normal family/friends visit on Christmas day/Boxing day, I love seeing the children opening their presents, Go out once or twice for a drink with mates,

I might even be going out this New Year, First time for about 4 years,

But I don't really enjoy it as I always feel like the odd one out, Especially with groups of couples which most of my friends are,

Happy New year! That awkward moment when it turns 12 and everyone starts kissing and you get a friends wife/gf saying awww come here,

I pity kiss

So will I. I think you might have rose-tinted views of what Christmas with another person involves. The person above stating that you end up cooking with the other half asleep on the sofa is not far off the truth, and I can't remember many Christmases where there wasn't an argument.

Those films are fiction.

Not rose tinted at all when you have been single for s long time you miss the little things , and just having somebody there asleep on the sofa or not is a nice feeling

I don't think I've ever rose tinted life in my life, the best Christmas I've had is where I've had someone there but you know what each to our own on what we think Christmas is and who it involves

Last year was the first year I spent Xmas alone. I decided to make the best of it, cooked myself a lovely meal, drank champagne and watched Xmas TV. I think Xmas is hugely overhyped and these days is just a marketing opportunity for corporations. It is meaningless. You could volunteer for a charity that needs help or give thanks that you don't have to attend a frustrating fake family dinner and revel in your independence!

I fully believe things come when we are ready. I was 'alone' with my kids for seven years without dating. I felt that was the time to focus on them and ensure a stable home. I am reaping the rewards now as they are settled and I have a good career. Now, finally, its time for me and Mr .... so, lucky he is here as I would not have had time for him before.

This will be my first xmas as a singleton, in 24 years. Lost wife in April and still miss her like crazy.

Even if there was someone else to kiss & cuddle, I'm not sure if I'd want to.

Will be avoiding all xmas tv, if possible. Is usually a load of bollocks, anyway - lol.

Don't let anyone make you feel bad for wanting to be loved up at Christmas. Not everyone has a family, or are close to their family, or are happy being alone. We're all different. I spend Christmas with my family, I have a niece and nephew I love spending time with and watching their joy at Christmas. But that doesn't stop me from wishing I had someone to share my life with, to wake up and go to sleep with. I don't care if he'd be snoring his head off on the sofa, he'd be there and I'd be curled up with him. That's the point that perhaps some people aren't getting.

And... For those of you who thinks the true meaning of Xmas has been lost, it was initially a pagan festival that was usurped by Christians and Jesus's birthday was not the 25 Dec, it's all a big myth!

But, if you are single, it is one of those occasions that does tend to highlight that and make it feel more acute. Hey ho, it's just another day...

As much as I miss being with someone at Christmas I'm actually glad I'm going to be on my own this year. Parents are at my brother's so I will be at home with my microwave meal for one. I'm currently not well so the last thing I want to be doing is being dragged round to the "in laws" to have a massive pile of food put in front of me that I can't eat. This has happened in previous years and I was made to feel very uncomfortable over it.

When you come from a close family those ties remain Within you most likely for the rest of your life so christmas without family or Loved ones will not be something people Like, who come from that background but Time changes everything eventually so you have to get on with it the best you Can, when Noddy holder in slade brought out the best selling record for christmas, I wish it could be christmas everyday seemed a great Idea at the time perhaps for kids yes which the song was aimed at, when I was a kid chicken and turkey was only ever at christmas And rarely other times by the time the 1980,S had arrived that was a thing of the past yes christmas has changed Dramatically in my lifetime but of course every generation witnesses change, I rarely see mistletoe at christmas thou I know where it grows in the wild.

"This thread has highlighted a lot I see a lot of singles post saying focused on my kids etc....I don't have kids so my time and focus is not set on my kids having a great Christmas...if I did have kids I'm sure my thoughts on being single at Christmas would be completely different

Don't let anyone make you feel bad for wanting to be loved up at Christmas. Not everyone has a family, or are close to their family, or are happy being alone. We're all different. I spend Christmas with my family, I have a niece and nephew I love spending time with and watching their joy at Christmas. But that doesn't stop me from wishing I had someone to share my life with, to wake up and go to sleep with. I don't care if he'd be snoring his head off on the sofa, he'd be there and I'd be curled up with him. That's the point that perhaps some people aren't getting. "

Thanks for this

I've only been in a relationship for one Christmas, and that was after a couple of Christmases spent entirely on my own.

Personally being single on Christmas doesn't bother me one bit. I'm very happy spending it with my parents, and I turn into a big kid! And it means I have to spend less money.

To me, it's about time with my parents, and my best friend & god daughter.

I've read this thread with interest. I guess it's different perspectives. Depending on your circumstances and past experiences!

I love Christmas with ben now.

But I was single for many many years before. It was depressing spending it with my family. Then when I was married it was worse spending it with the husbands family!!

My later single years were wonderful! No stress, no rows.

Just me and my dogs chilling out and doing what we wanted!

I hate being single all the time, over the years I've found it's the winter and the cold that makes me want a boyfriend even more, actual Christmas I'm ok. Xmas eve my daughter and I go next door where my mum lives and have a Chinese with my mum and my sister then come back round to put my daughter to bed then I'm up half the night doing the presents and trying to sneak her stocking in, will remember to take her iPad off her so she doesn't have it set up on record next to her bed like she did a few weeks back when she was trying to capture the tooth fairy! Xmas day is all about watching her open her presents then going to my grandparents for dinner then over my friends for Xmas tea so our girls can play together. Don't actually care about being single Xmas eve or day but Boxing Day when my daughter goes to her dads and those shit couple of days when I'm off work and just rattling about on my own, that's when I start feeling single again.

I can't stand Christmas I'd love to hybernate. Lost my son 4 days before Christmas and buried him nye. If it wasn't for my daughter I'd not do anything at all. I'm aware I'm not great company this time of year so better off single.

I've done both being in a relationship with the kids and now single. Which do I enjoy more ? Definitely being single.

I can do as I please and don't have to eat an average lunch and pretend it was the best meal I ever ate.

I can drink as much as I like without fear of upsetting someone or starting an argument.

I can watch what I like and don't have to wear a silly fucking hat.

I actually look forward to Xmas day now back in the day I was pleased when it was all over.

I've never seen Xmas as a romantic time but each to their own and all that.

I hate being on my own too. I'd love to have someone to share things with. Christmas is worse. Seeing all the loved up couples everywhere. My little man's at his dad's this year so I'm on my own, unless I take myself off to mum and dads!!! Sometimes it would be nice to have someone to just be here!!

"I thought Christmas was all about the family, not so much couples.

This.

I thought family was the main focus? Even when I was engaged to Marc we never spent Christmas together because our families lives thousands of miles away and each would be pissed at us for going to one and not the other.

Not a very romantic time of year to me

-Courtney"

We have 3christmases for this reason. Spend the morning the 3of us, Christmas afternoon at my mums then travel on boxing day over to his mums and spend the whole time as a big family. Couldn't see it being any other way.

There will come a day when you won't be able to enjoy the company of your parents either being single or with someone...

Christmas for us really is a time to stand back and appreciate that others won't be as fortunate as ourselves...

Worry about what you have not what you don't have...

This thread is a bit depressing on the whole. So many people not enjoying the holiday period. Have to say, I am not a big fan. Now my kids are all grown up, there does not seem much to celebrate. I have been looking at holidays abroad. Wonder if that would be better or worse?

Not weird at all. I hate this feeling. It's one I know all too well and try to put at the back of my mind. ...But, there's always enough Rom-Coms on TV to keep reminding me.

I dont like being alone at christmas but make the best of it instead

I found it worse when your doing it for others and then when it all calms down it kinda hits you a bit at this time of year

I have been invited to other events of friends for company and I have turned it down

but most of the time im half and half with company if I want it

Surely being single makes Christmas time way easier? Only one family to buy presents for, less houses to visit and you get to spend quality time with your loved ones instead of putting up with your in laws for the sake of your other half? You've got to look at the positives

I guess for me being single at christmas is pretty much mehh at this stage,best thing for me is I have a couple of days off I can get home to see my mum,bros,sisters nieces nephews etc,so in a way christmas day is less of a lonely day than usual even though I am the only sibling not married or in a relationship.They will no doubt pull the piss as usual.

Especially when you are the only one of all your friends without children. I used to work to avoid my friends with children. Ironically I found out I was pregnant on Xmas Eve (we were due to start IVF in the new year) then 5 yrs later on Xmas Day

I've spent Christmas both alone and in relationships.

For me, being in a relationship is all about sharing, caring and tolerating.

In a relationship, then both of you should spend time with each others parents on Christmas Day. If distance is a problem, then alternate each year.

Don't worry about other family members. Families will always fall out, you don't have to be in a relationship for that to happen!

Also, in a relationship, then both should share cooking dinner, both should either wash up, or leave it till tomorrow, and both should fall asleep together on the sofa during the big film. Leave the heating off, then wake up when it gets chilly, decide to go to bed "where its warm" and before you know it, you'll be embraced and fucking like rabbits!

I'm looking forward to being single this Christmas. Not having the stress of who we're seeing and what we're doing and no petty arguments. I get to see my daughter Christmas morning and night and will be with my parents and sister, mildy d*unk throuout, playing with my little girl and her new toys. The only worry I will have will be to wash up or dry up or which Disney dvd we're going to watch next. Bliss.

The commercial side uses the "it's all about the kids" and "the perfect xmas" to take our money. For what? One day of pretending to be nice to people who are dicks and good will to all? 364 other days to do that!! Rant over

I would say this is the one time of the year when I don't feel like too much of a sad loner, because I can focus on family a little more than usual. Although having said that I would love to spend Christmas with a woman I loved. In fact that will probably be only thing that will make me believe in Christmas again

For me personally this will be my first Christmas as a singleton in over ten years, I will have been single for six months next week, and truth be told I'm looking forward to the festive season this year more than any other and I'm especially looking forward to New Years Eve because for me personally it really is a new beginning and a fresh New chapter in My life. For the first time in years it's all about me and doing what makes me happy without feeling selfish or having to consider someone else......

Big warm hugs and Xmas kisses to anyone feeling alone, depressed or anything in between. xx

I've never found Christmas romantic.

It's always been about spending it with extended family, not necessarily your other half.

Well, that was the case for me when I was in long term relationships but not married.

Now, I relish the time on my own.

My son goes to his dad's for a few days and I do exactly what I want on Christmas Day.

It must be awful for you babe, I don't have kids but I know afew people in your situation and there is nothing anyone can say to make them are you feel any better but I hope you have good people around you and your not alone, nothing can compare to having your kids around but just having good friends around will make all the difference on the day..

no op of course not after all it is a natural human emotion which makes us drawn to others and a lot of times find relationships from bf/gf to marriage etc...

Think it maybe depends how long youve bedn single too ... Last year i enjoyed it ... Xmas eve alone waking up alone xmas day no hassle no rush just suiting myself till dinner time with the family ... This year its getting me down a bit

I absolutely love xmas but i actually thought about booking a trip to a beach somewhere to just hide from everyone

Is love rubbish though?

no op of course not after all it is a natural human emotion which makes us drawn to others and a lot of times find relationships from bf/gf to marriage etc...

I just don't get the whole dedicating an entire day to it thing but it is what they made it out to be and profit from it. Point is christmas should not make you feel down about being single..

"

Well to me it does, I feel shit that it does make me feel like shit but then maybe I think I should have a 5 year running around but Mother Nature took care of that...we all have different feelings

I see, well I suppose our life experiences differ in the sense you have been more in touch or open about love and affection/relationships where as I have never really been much into that stuff myself personally..

anyway cheer up have a good time and remember something will turn up someday when you least expect it OP and it will be better then you though.

Whatever you feel is missing from your life, be that a partner, children (equally difficult situation if you have a partner), someone who has died - it's all going to be magnified at this time of year.

I found there is a big difference between being alone and being lonely.

I like my own company and when I was childless and single it was hard at times, but have faith Cheeky, you just never know what is around the corner xx

I cant stand Christmas tbh not my fave time of year. As ive no family an i find as a single fem i cant wait till its over its too comerislised im boycotting it. An im going to treat it as a normal day. As i have a condition acute pancreatitis caused by gall stones. Im on a low fat diet. I cant have chocolate, crisps. Cheese, anything with lots of fat content in. On one hand im a lot thinner due to my condition but im limited to what food i can eat. I have no tree up nothing that represents Christmas. Im chooseing to not celebrate it. I can do what i wish im a lot hapier not celebrateing Christmas.

"I hate it.

Haven't woken up with my kids on Xmas day for 5 years now. Although I'll see them for a bit, it's not the same as being with them all day.

Add to that the fact their Mum and me agreed to part ways before Xmas, and split straight after, and it makes it a real crappy time

It must be awful for you babe, I don't have kids but I know afew people in your situation and there is nothing anyone can say to make them are you feel any better but I hope you have good people around you and your not alone, nothing can compare to having your kids around but just having good friends around will make all the difference on the day..

I hope things get better for you babe..

Big Hugs. "

Aah, thanks very much hun

Xmas day I'll be at my brother's, with my parents. My mum has already told me not to be miserable! Bit difficult, when my mind will be elsewhere, but my brother and his wife are really good to me.

Boxing day I'll have with my 2, so I'm looking forward to that.

Xx

"So I was chatting to my gorgeous mother tonight via our daily phone call and I said I'll be glad when Christmas is over...she said why? I just said its all too romantic a bit like Valentine's Day and it makes me feel proper single at this time of the year. Does anyone else feel like this or am I just weird? "

Exactly the same here Miss.

Probably had this feeling more so since being single - have my kids this Xmas so won't be alone. Last Xmas day morning I was atop Snowdon at 9:30am - that was fantastic although rest of day was tame and a little sad!

Gonna be same feeling new year eve unless something comes up....

Hugs to all who feel it x

its not a depressing thread. Some people have no one at Christmas. An its a reality. I have chosen instead of celebrating Christmas to donate some money to a worth while cause a local animal sanctuary. An i find that more worth while than wasting money on Christmas.

Nah it's not depressing, a lil comforting to read that other people are sort of in the same boat. This will be my 6th single Xmas but I'm actually looking forward to this one cos it's the first year I've bought everything early. Just got a few odds and sods to get now for people, maybe some veet for my nans mate that insists on kissing me with her prickles. I've even bought a present for my goldfish I'm that organised!

I have a partner who loathes Christmas. I could care less as for me it's about family.

My children have families, partners of their own and assume Ben and I are doing our own thing.

Not looking forward to Christmas that much now if I'm honest and I have a month off!
