My wider family are great at keeping me involved at Christmas, and I think that’s what’s key. But what can be lonely is even if I see people during the day on a special occasion, I may be alone in the morning or evening. I hadn’t realised before how important the whole experience with others was, even the mundane bits.

Love or hate the holidays as a single?
We're so aware that Thanksgiving and Christmas can be tough as singles. We'd love to hear what you live and equally, what you dread around the holidays...
Well if you got your family close its a really nice season 🫶🏼🎄 despite being single. Here in Latam it's a warm and fun time.
I love being with my family, I know I’ve Day I’ll find the right person to share all that with. I have faith in God’s blessings when it comes to finding the right one.
I have myself a merry little christmas, alone or together: nice food, presents, cool sound, candels. I love it and celebrate - no matter how and what😘
The hell with family i make my own
Que ?
if youre actually alone, then youll feel lonely, blessed to be with the family esp during holidays
I love the holiday season because it was the time that our King was born and we get to celebrate Him. Yes, I'll admit it would be nice to have a loving partner who'd celebrate along with me through the love of our God.
Kinda hehehe. But for now I know the Lord is making me wait for now and spend all my time with family and ministry. So when the perfect one comes im ready and whole for Him.
I love spending the holidays with my family but I can’t wait until I have a partner to enjoy it with too. I’m tired of being the only single one at my family events.
@Lorri hello
I believe in Jesus, so I will never be alone 💖
Hate it
It's a mixed feeling. Sometimes I love that I have the choice to do whatever I want with wy kids, and other times I feel lonely to not share with someone like me. That someone special. I hardly get to receive any gifts, but it's always a pleasure to see the kids' eyes light up😁
I love holidays because I am not really single, i am with my two kids, and we enjoy everything about holidays
I love doing what I want to do without having to consult someone or consider them haha I don’t like not being able to share memorable moments however I have children so I’m blessed. Hallelujah even if I was single for the rest of my life, that’s ok because I have found fulfilment in god. No one would ever be able to give that to me or even come close.
The one thing I dread is the endless questions about my love life. 🙄Otherwise, I enjoy spending time with my family and all the Christmas magic. It’s a lovely time!
I used to dread that too but it doesn’t feel much better when they give up and simply stop asking lol
Its okay to be single during the holidays. What truly matters is having your family around you.
I love Christmas, it's such a beautiful time to spend with friends and family.
love it!!!! Being joyful is not dependent on status🥰 we can celebrate the holidays with our churchmates, friends, family 🙂
I spend holidays with my family or working, so I've never felt lonely, but I dream of the day I can do it with my own family.
I spend Christmas with family (though there’s not many of us) and enjoy Christmas lights, which cheers up people in the village (makes the very tedious task of putting up/taking down worthwhile!). It’s also good to have a proper break. Downsides - even though there’s more free time, friends are often too busy to catch up. Also more aware of family no longer here. New Year can give fresh hope of meeting one’s future spouse “this is going to be the year”, but I resist thinking like that anymore.
I always spend Christmas with my awesome family which is the main thing. I admit I do wish I could share Christmas with a special someone soon though. For me new years eve is tougher mentally tbh
@Dave main thing aside from Jesus, if it wasn't obvious 😇
