| Your guide to an abundant single life from ChristianSinglesToday.com Thursday, December 13, 2007
It's the time of year for parties. Last Friday night was my company Christmas party, a much-chronicled event in my years as a single person. This event that's supposed to be a work perk and a time to celebrate the Christ child being born can unfortunately sometimes become an awkward evening of feeling like the odd one out. Apparently I'm not alone in my Christmas party angst. A couple weeks ago we asked you guys how you handle this event, and we received a fascinating range of attitudes and experiences. Check out some of this feedback in our lead article this week, "The Company Christmas Party." (For the record, I attended my party with a coworker, a fellow 30something female singleton, and we had a delightful time.) The next big party is New Year's Eve. Well, it's a party for some. For others it's a night to hole up with some movies and munchies. What do you usually do for New Year's Eve? Do you have any traditions? What's been your most memorable NYE ever? Share with us at SinglesNewsletter@ChristianityToday .com and we'll share your stories, so those still contemplating how to ring in the new year can get some fresh ideas. Here's hoping that this week we all pause to remember two very special parties from long ago—in a night sky filled with rejoicing starry host, and in a manger filled with weary young parents, startled farm animals, and a tiny baby come to save us all. Christmas blessings!  Camerin Courtney Camerin welcomes your feedback and brainstorms at: SinglesNewsletter@ChristianityToday.com advertisement
 The Company Christmas PartyHow 11 singles handle this sometimes meaningful, sometimes miserable event Sharing the Love A co-worker and I pool our "and guest" reservations and give them to a couple who'd enjoy the outing. Last year we invited as our "dates" my brother and sister-in-law, who didn't get Christmas parties at their work, and we all had a great time. Our office also has monthly outings—to the zoo, to a professional soccer game, to the nearby mountains for snow tubing. We can bring our significant others to several of these events. My coworker and I always help our friends enjoy a free activity, and, in turn, they help us not feel so "single." —Pam | Read more … |
