Time is approaching to that season of the year when the suck ness of being a singleton intensified by a couple of notch. I love Christmas ever since I was a kid, but when I was a kid I have never known loneliness, real loneliness that is. I was part of a happy family, I still am I guess but I’m also slowly progressing toward Bridget Jones.
As I grow older and my siblings got married and have the whole works loneliness starts creeping bits by bits. You started to think ‘Oh I wish I have someone special I can share my Christmas’. I vaguely remember once I wrote that I never want anything fancy, but it’d be nice to have someone special to share my Christmas morning, and maybe a nice warm house with gingerbread aroma seeping from the kitchen (go search in the archive!).
Now, obviously it won’t happen for me this year, sharing Christmas morning with that special someone that is. It’s kind of suck I must admit. I mean like come on, if I said that I don’t need a relationship, that I don’t want any guy in my life, I’d be lying through my teeth. But then the fact is I don’t have any of the above, so what can I do?
So this Christmas, instead of waking up with someone special beside me, I’m flying down to Melbourne spending my Christmas holiday with old friends I have not seen for years. We’ll drive out to Yarra Valley spending a couple of nights at a beautiful winery spoiling ourselves silly with the wines, food and spa. And as a treat I will buy myself something very special for Christmas gift. Hey if I don’t have any guy to buy that special gift, I’ll have the next best thing which is buying it myself. And likewise yes spending Christmas at home with your loved one is probably cheaper than a blissful getaway, but hey it sure beats staying at home and torturing myself wishing I have someone. A girl gotta do wats a girl gotta do. Happy Holidays People!!
