Surviving the Holidays



5 reasons to be thankful you're single during the holidays...A dating coach for women over 40 has a little advice -- enjoy your freedom this month! She has 5 reasons it's sweet to be single during the holidays:

  1. ...the freedom to choose who you wanted to spend the holidays with. No fights on which relatives to visit
  2. ...free from spending time with boring or obnoxious in-laws
  3. ...your time is your own.
  4. ...no need to worry whether your significant other was having a good time
  5. ...the freedom to skip Thanksgiving or Christmas and GO ON VACATION!
