Waistfull,
I work for a company that has transferred me over 10 times in 15 years and have never married so I spend most of my holidays by myself. At first I had trouble with the Holidays but now I really enjoy myself those days. They are my totally self indulgent days. I do everything I want to do those days that I normally wouldn't do.
1. I don't make my bed
2. I stay in pj's all day
3. I have a marathon day watching movies
4. I cook all my favorite things even if they are not healthful
5. I eat chocolate right out of the box and if I don't like it I throw it away and go for another piece
6. I let the dishes stackup in the sink
7. I do no work around the house
8. I read a good book (hardback)
9. I take a wonderful bubbly bath
10. I hug my furbabies all day long
Okay, by now you see I break all the rules my mother

gave me but hopefully you get my point. Enjoy the peace of the day!
