Is it harder being single at Christmas? 🎄

It can seem isolating at times.

No

I often find it is. And I am generally pretty content being single. But like others have said, lots of people find Christmas hard for all sorts of reasons. I think we all need to look out for others at Christmas and try and be sensitive to what people might be experiencing.

Yes.

Any season can be hard

100%

Sometimes it's hard, others dont

It’s hard but to find a good soulmate is more harder 😢

Defo harder

Definitely harder IMO

It's certainly a lot cheaper 😂

It's actually better

YES without a doubt , especially if you have lost loved ones and the memories

Straight and practical answer is, most of the time Yes, depending on aga as well.

In Filipino culture, we often say "malagi ang Pasko" or "cold Christmas” because you are not in a relationship. Sadly, with this connotation, many people feel pressured to rush into marriage or relationships at a young age. I’ve been single for many years, and I would be a hypocrite if I said I never felt that way. However, the true meaning of Christmas is God’s love, not one’s relationship status.

Well, even though I would love to be with my partner. I am still grateful for so many things.

I never was brought up celebrating Chrissy and because of that it is a time of year that gives me a sense of not knowing where I belong. My favourite Christmas to date was when a truly Godly Pastor and his wife invited me over with a few other “odd ones out” from church and we shared a lunch together. It’s was a very wholesome day, Christ-centred, no stress - just pure joy and pure love. I haven’t had a Christmas like that since. No gifts, just bring a plate and hangout. It was great!

I don’t find it hard, but that’s cuz I have my brother and his in laws. Though our church does special things for those alone in the holidays. They have families and couples in the church “adopt” someone who needs family for christmas. It’s quite lovely

Not that bad when you run an animal sanctuary. Me and the critters will be having a Merry Christmas 🙏

I wish I had a special someone to celebrate Christmas with tbh

Yes it is. I keep busy with a tradition we have at our home which is spring cleaning followed by decking the halls. Delicious Christmas treats and food. And never ever forget "Home Alone" 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. Laughter is the best medicine

I thrive on sadness. It’s so unhealthy but it’s the only thing I know. I love being sad way too much - I don’t know how to explain it. 😍😪 ❤️🧠

Oh yeah. All those romantic christmas movies arent helping when you would like a scenario like that. But honestly I think Ill take a long brake from dating. It only frustrates me and it troubles my mind. I need clarity with my busy schedule but I notice ive focused my thoughts on dating and women for too long. It is holding me back

I work a lot over Christmas (by choice). Christmas Day all the family get together which is nice. I've booked a mini break for me and the kids to enjoy before they go back to school. I am blessed with what I have, and I thank God for that. Life does get tough being a single mother and I have spent time throughout the years feeling lonely so can totally relate

It definitely feels harder to be single at the holidays. I remember thinking last Christmas that I didn't want to go through another one alone, but here I am again. I just try to redirect myself when I get down and focus on what Christmas is truly about.

It’s hard being single at Christmas if you can’t catch up with friends during the season (which is made difficult if people are busy with family/various gatherings), as this magnifies the isolation. But it’s a tough time for anyone whose lost loved ones, family aren’t around, reflecting on a difficult year + comparing to previous happy Christmases. Advice would be to arrange plans with friends ahead of time (have something to look forward to) and call friends you’ve not spoken to in ages.

As long as you are Christian and filled the Holy Spirit you can't be feeling singleness, keep yourselves busy, join community church service, online services, read the word of God, listen to a Christian message, Meditate on the love God which was revealed through Jesus Christ. Allow the spirit of God to minister to you during this time, Keep yourself active in things of God and you won't feel any singleness.
