Have just booked my first single break with Just You.
In the past, when I have been single at Christmas, it wasn't a big thing, because I would just go home to visit my folks for the holiday, who were always happy to see me.
However, they have now passed on and the big family Christmas came to an end.
On two occasions since, I hosted my own Christmas celebrations, putting out a general invite to various friends who are themselves single. Both times it was a great success and enjoyable on the day, but it really was a bit of a gamble - mainly due to my friends inablity to commit in advance (heh - perhaps that's why they are single!).
The last couple of years, I've had various invitations to join friends, and have enjoyed myself, but sometimes you feel you are intruding, especially if you are the only guest at a family Christmas. So this year, despite an standing invite from some good friends, I decided to take a small adventure, and book Christmas in Stratford-Upon-Avon.
Another good reason for doing this is that I have been pondering some of the bigger vacations here, and this will be a way to dip my toe in the Just You holiday scene.
Look forward to seeing people in a few months.
