It isn't that bad. Really!

I know how you are feeling though, I remember, before I got married, thinking "if I could just spend the holidays with someone I love, all would be right in the world".

I'm not going to say that being in love at the holidays is bad because it isn't, but being single and free to do what you please has its perks as well.
Here is some research to check out...

A dating coach for women over 40 has a little advice -- enjoy your freedom this month. She has 5 reasons it's sweet to be single during the holidays:

  The freedom to choose who you wanted to spend the holidays with. No fights on which relatives to visit. (I can't convey just how HUGE this is!)

  Free from spending time with boring or obnoxious in-laws.

  Your time is your own.

  No need to worry whether your significant other was having a good time.

  The freedom to skip Thanksgiving or Christmas and GO ON VACATION.
