Blah.. the holidays

It really is a special time of year. A time when you feel even more lonely and depressed when you're single. The media does a fantastic job of making you feel inadequate if you don't have a handsome guy buying you gifts and presenting them to you in your lovely loft while you're sipping hot chocolate to a carefully selected soundtrack. Of course I totally get suckered into feeling all emotional when I see this shit. Nobody wants to be alone, but it's even worse during the holidays. Yes, yes, friends and family are always there. But you know what I mean. The certain someone who makes you feel special and who will actually watch the Grinch with you and not make you watch it alone with a bottle of wine. I am not saying it's the end all and be all to be in a relationship, but it is nice to be with someone. All I'm saying is do they HAVE to make all of the friggin movies and commercials and shows make single people feel as though they aren't good enough?! I guess they just know how to tap into that thing that we all feel and don't want to admit. Who knows. All I know is that I'm emotional on a good day - during the holidays when I've been sick all week, yeah extra emotional. Maybe I should just lie and say "I have money" :)
