Tada! I did it! I survived yet another
Christmas and New Years as a single woman, and I didn't punch anyone
in the face. Trust me, there were some people that were really
asking to be punched, but I kept my hands to myself. I didn't want
to risk a great manicure by breaking a nail. People should thank me
for being so considerate. Of course, with Valentine's Day right
around the corner I'm not out of the woods just yet, but I do have a
plan of action.
Make
it a Movie Night, Every Night –
Netflix never lets me down. After all these years, Netflix knows
what I like and often makes appropriate suggestions according to my
moods. Why yes, Netflix, I am most certainly interested in a period
piece featuring a strong female lead. No, I don't care if it's
historically accurate. I'm all about the costumes, cat-fights, and
clever wit.
When it comes to surviving the holiday season, you can go one of two routes: Seasonal cult favorites (National Lampoons Christmas Vacation, Christmas Story, It's a Wonderful Life), or take a hard left and race towards horror movies and psychological thrillers. Or, if you're like me, you'll watch some fluffy eye candy and indulge in a marathon of Pretty Little Liars (skipping over the Christmas episodes is optional.)

Skip
Parties – Holiday
parties are filled with couples and meddling busy-bodies who only
want to know one thing: why are you here alone? No matter how much I
enjoy being single, finding a smooching buddy at midnight makes for
some awkward morning after stories. When it comes to being single on
New Years, it's best to skip parties and build a pillow fort. It's
okay to indulge your inner cave woman.
Chill
With Friends – Luckily, my besties are
single as well. Since we've nothing better to do, we've decided to
what we always do – plan an adventure.
No doubt my Valentine's will be memorable and filled with laughter.
Spending time with friends is a necessary factor in a long, healthy,
and happy life. I make it a point to chill with my friends as often
as possible, Valentine's Day is just another night on my busy
schedule of laughing with the people I love.
No matter how you spend your
Valentine's Day, take a moment to genuinely appreciate your friends
and loved ones. I hope your upcoming year is filled with an
abundance of prosperity, laughter, and love.
