| If you are looking for ways to go about finding love on the holidays so you will not be alone on Christmas, do not panic or be depressed. There are so many things you can do. First and foremost just go out and be around people.
Take the time to go volunteer at the local soup kitchen and serve up some food for the people who have no one else at any time of the year let alone Christmas. You will be finding love on the holidays if you help out your fellow man. Making sure that someone has a hot meal in their tummy and a nice, warm place to sleep for at least one night will make your problems seem less important.
If you can't do that then you can put yourself out there other ways. Attend your company's Christmas party, you might just meet the new guy from down in accounting. Enjoy the season for what it is. Buy a tree and decorations, Set it up in a window of your home so you can see it when you drive up. Holiday lights are bright and colorful and get you in the spirit of the holiday.
Plan a holiday party of your own. Invite your guests to bring a friend. Who knows, maybe one of your married friends has someone they would like you to meet. Plan your party early enough in the season that your guests have time to plan to come to your party. It is a busy time of year for everyone and you want your party to be a success.
Plan to make food for the party or have it catered. Decorate your house for the season and have Christmas music playing when your guests arrive. Even if you are not much of a cook you could probably manage appetizers and finger foods for 20 people. The more you do it the better you will get. Or, just ask your guests to each bring a dish to pass.
Go walk outside and look at all the lights others have put up. The neighborhood is brightly lit. If you live in a place where you get snow, go out on a night when it is snowing and feel how the air feels and take in all the smells and sounds of the season. Take your skates down to the local ice rink and do some ice skating You might just meet the man of your dreams out on the ice.
Maybe you will be lucky and find a group of caroler's and you can join in singing your favorite Christmas carols. Warm up by stopping by the coffee shop and having some hot cocoa with some marshmallows or whipped cream on top. You never know where you might meet someone but getting yourself out there is the only way to do that.
When you wake up on Christmas day, call home and talk to everyone who made it home for Christmas. If you have planned your time well you might just be able to tell them you were successful at finding love on the holidays. |
