I don't necessarily "hate" being single during the Holidays, but I sure wouldn't mind having a "special someone" to share them with.
I'm lucky in that I have a large extended family, and I'm not the only one who's single, so I don't really get a lot of that "why aren't you married"-type pressure. But there are still plenty of married couples in the family, that it does make you wistful at times, wishing you had someone too.
A couple years ago when my cousin, his wife, and their new baby, were visiting for the holidays, it was a little bittersweet at times. I loved every minute of doting on their daughter, playing with her, feeding her, rocking her to sleep, and singing her lullabies... all of that stuff. And my cousin's wife said, "wow, you're going to be a really wonderful husband and father someday," which was a sweet comment, but I just thought, "if you only knew how unlikely it is that either of those things will ever happen."
So there are times when it's somewhat depressing for me to be single during the holidays, but, like I said, for the most part I'm ok with it.
And, damnit, one day I WILL have someone to share the holidays with, and ring in the New Year with, and all of that other stuff. As God is my witness....!
