When you’re single and looking, the holidays–and all that togetherness and love stuff–can be enough to drive you to drink one too many egg nogs. What’s worse, if you’re around all those happy folks they really don’t want to hear how lonely and miserable you might be, so you’re often forced to suffer in silence. Not this time. In the spirit of commiseration, Beyond Black & White and  AfroRomance feel you should have an outlet to discuss your general feelings of holiday suck-dom amongst your peers. Tell us why being single this holiday season is dooming you to a sucky Christmas and New Year’s Day, and get the chance to start 2013 off with a prize. The writer with the most creative, humorous, and/or unusual comment who gets the most amount of “likes” from the BB&W community of their peers will receive THREE FREE MONTHS membership and a copy of “Swirling: How to Date, Mate & Relate, Mixing Race, Culture & Creed.”

So what are you waiting for? Start typing! Contest closes this Friday, December 14.

Top 5 Reasons Why My Christmas Is Gonna Suck

 5. High probability of snow. I HATE snow, especially when I am single. It's only interesting if a lover, fireplace and brandy are involved.

 4. No one to gift me romantic gifts, like a spa day, or a lavender Rabbit Vibrator.

 3. Who's gonna take advantage of me after I pass out from spiked egg-nog and chicken wings?

 2. Going home alone, AGAIN, and being around all the annoying loving couples. Couples like my parents, brothers and their wives, 65 years together grandma and grandpa, even my little niece and her jock boyfriend!

 1. Having no excuse to skip going home because everyone knows I'm single! So there's no boyfriend's home to go to. Stuck going home when I'd rather be home with my single self, snuggled up with the lavender Rabbit vibrator I broke down and bought myself.

 

Lordy my Christmas is so going to suck!!!

Thank you for posting this! I was starting to feel like the only one!

I kid you all NOT, it just got worse. Yesterday the girlfriend of one of my brother's called.. So she tells me that my brother proposed to her... on the beach... at sunset....on their vacation...in Aruba! And she can't wait to see me at Christmas. :)

 

I was screaming joy for them, I was. Been waiting for this. But I'm over being single this Christmas.

Oh, that sounds so nice for them though. I'm such a hopeless romantic, but it does add another blow to having a sucky single Christmas.

Hoping that singles will take advantage of the free offer. I'm sure that by this time next year, many BB&W readers will not have to fly solo next Christmas holiday!

Actually, my Christmas is gonna R-O-C-K, when I'm with my lady-wife or her family - the downer is going to be when I go off for my kids 'Family Christmas' and hear all the chaotic whinin' & bitchin' ... plus the parental alienation that seems to be the hallmark of my 1st wife's family, echoing through my children and grand-children - "they've got to be carefully taught ..."

Angels we have hear on high ... tell us to go out and BUY!

God rest ye merry gentlemen, may ye make the Yuletide PAY!

Hark, the herald angels sing, Beecham's Pills are just the thing - Peace on earth andf mercy mild, two for man and one for child!

Why is my Christmas going to suck? This was going to be the first Christmas, New Years, anniversary, and Valentine's Day that I was going to to be home with my beautiful Queen. I was deployed to Korea from August 2011 to August 2012 during our first year of marriage and I was not able to come home for any of it. Two months later, she passed away due to the hospital screwing up her operation. That is how my Christmas will suck.

 PhantomLover007 Oh..... I'm so sorry for your loss. The holidays suck for many people. I hope you're around support and love during this time of the year. *hugs*

 PhantomLover007 I'm so sorry to read this, and very sorry for your loss. My husband has been deceased for a while now, yet I vividly remember the pain of all the "firsts" that followed. My heart goes out to you. Hugs and prayers to you during this time.
