While it may not always feel like it, it’s entirely possible to survive being single during the holidays. The holiday season is a delightful mixture of high pressure. You have to stress about things like spending money and visiting relatives, but even more annoying? The pressure to be in love. Every single media outlet inundates us with perfect holiday themed love stories, which will almost immediately be followed up by our favorite holiday: Valentine’s Day. Social media is the biggest culprit for this feeling of FOMO, because it’s hard not to feel left out when scrolling through lovey-dovey pictures of the gifts someone’s significant other bough them.
While it may be a little too early to start decking the halls with boughs of holly, it’s not too early to start planning for it. The best way to stay on top of things is to be ahead of things. That way when the holidays roll around, you can just sit back and enjoy the ride, rather than stressing about buying last minute gifts or ruining the dessert.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! As soon as the Halloween costumes are off (but before all the candy is even eaten) the *~*holiday spirit*~* fills the air and the countdown begins - to Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza, the New Year. Cheer abounds with children and adults alike as decorations are hung, presents are bough, and cookies are baked. What could be better?
The holiday season is wonderful because it’s so much fun! You get good food, amazing sales, holiday treats… and quality family time. Now, don’t get me wrong: spending time with your family is fantastic! But everyone’s family is weird, everyone gets annoyed with their families, and every family has drama. You’re not alone if you think your fam is ridiculous.
As fun as the holidays are, they can be super duper stressful. There’s always bound to be some kind of drama, whether it’s about something serious or not. (It’ll probably be about water spots on the spoons, tbh.) Don’t let the stress and drama ruin your holiday spirit! Instead, follow these tips so you can have the best holiday with your family ever.
