I have several single friends that are meeting the holidays head on and are not going to let the holidays bring them down. For many women it is a great time of the year and spending time with family and loved ones (for me yes and no) is something to look forward to. But what about those women who are single and feel they do not fit the demographic norm often portrayed by the media, the woman who is married, has 2.5 children and she lives in a house with a picket fence with a DOG NAMED FIDO AND A CAT NAMED FELIX. I realize this example is over the top but during the holidays many of us (me too) seem to look at our lives and our circumstances with rose colored glasses or better yet look at our lives under a microscope and feel down. I really thought this blog was a good idea because we already know many married women have high or unrealistic expectations about the holidays and get all bent out of shape if theirs is not a replica of the Norman Rockwell scene in their homes. I also think we forget that for the single woman it is just as tough when the world is screaming ”be married and have a couple of kids”. There are single women who are out there everyday wondering where they fit in a society that tells them “one size does not fit all (if you fit the mold)” and “Will that be the “family pack?” that is plastered above their heads on the menu in the local fast food spot?”.
