Myth #1: Single people are lonely at Christmas and holiday
Reality: No more so than anyone else. This is a projection of people who fear “being alone for the holidays,” a fear of the unknown.

Myth #2: Single people need you to invite them over to your celebration.
Reality: Contrary to perceptions, single people are very popular at Christmas, and we generally receive lots of invitations. If you want us over, we™d love to be invited, but would prefer it™s because you like us, not because you think we need it, or some poor attempt at being set up with someone.
Myth #3: Single people don™t know what to do for the holidays.
Reality: On the contrary, we are used to planning our social lives actively, good at generating options, and used to making unilateral decisions. We™re pros!
Myth #4: Single people are available to perform certain social tasks during the holiday celebration.
Reality: We like to be cherished guests. We don™t like to be the steer among the bulls " invited to get people who don™t get along off of one another™s throats. If you don™t like your family and friends, why would we? “Can you come over and help out with Aunt Edna?” is not an invitation.
Myth #5: Single people are available to do certain physical tasks during the holiday celebration.
Reality: Nor is this an invitation: “It™s John™s in-laws and I want to impress them. Can you come over and help with the entree™s?” As best-friend, yes; as the only working-guest, absolutely not.
Myth #6: Single people are misfits, outsiders.
Reality: On the contrary, most of us have highly developed Emotional Intelligence skills; that™s the reason we get the ‘rescue us™ invitations! Outsiders? It™s about half the adult world now. Take another look!
Myth #7: If a single person isn™t part of a couple, or doesn™t spend Christmas with a couple or family, they will be miserable.
Reality: Come on now. Is it so horrible to celebrate Christmas on a cruise to the Caribbean, coming back rested, tanned and relaxed?
Myth #8: The only “happy” way to spend the holidays is if you are a couple or part of a family.
Reality: If that were so, half the articles on the Internet this time of year wouldn™t be about how to cope with the annual holiday dinner with the relatives, and the divorce rate in the US wouldn™t be 50%.
Myth #9: Single people have “nowhere to go” for the holidays.
Reality: Nowhere to go? We have everywhere to go! I loved my years as Playing aunty Santa. Now I™m on-the-go. I™m thinking about Germany this year. There are so many places to go I can™t decide!!
In fact I have so many fantastic ideas for spending Christmas on-your-own, if you™re stuck contact me and I™ll give you a FREE coaching session.
