Do you have any family to spend the holidays with? I know it isn't the same, I just hope you won't be alone.

It will all be ok in the end. If it's not ok, it's not the end
Happily remarried to a wonderful man (Aussie). I think I found the right guy and the right finger this time.

Thanks, all.
I do have family in the area, but they're all nurses. We usually end up celebrating holidays on a date that isn't the actual holiday. I also have a platonic friend that always invites me to spend the holidays with his family, but I'm trying not to encourage him.
It's not that I don't have joy(I definitely do). I just feel like I would like to share that joy with someone else.

This meme needs to die.
I think it belittles women who choose to live alone.
We don't apply this image to solo males do we? If there is one, I haven't heard it.
Mad dog maybe?

well that's understandable, seeing as you're already the crazy about corgis lady. 
I know it's so, so very hard when we would like our lives to be one way, but for some reason we're not headed in the direction we thought we would be by this point in our journey. We have to have hope, and believe it will get better, and we will get the life we want. hugs again, (((Williesmom))).

I SO feel you sweetie. I've been single now a year and a half.... and the most I've had is 3 1st dates....no 2nds. It is what it is I guess. I know I have a lot to offer someone... and I know that someone would be super lucky to have Piper and I....but I also know that dating as a single mom is not easy.....and sucks....and is exhausting.... so I fully expect to spend yet another Christmas alone.
It saddens me if I let it.... but I refuse to. I'm running my 3rd marathon this weekend and I'm excited! My last one was ruined by sperm donor who decided "out of the blue" that he wanted to run a marathon since I ran one....so he roped me into running another one not 6 months after my 1st....(I wasn't really mentally ready to....and had an awful race). But, this time.... I AM ready.... and I'm excited.... and nervous.... and its going to be great! I just know it! 
We will be part of a family dynamic again one day! I have a great family.... just no man in the mix... but I am trying to be patient...
But, I know its not easy.... for sure...
