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!!!
