Poll: Christmas loneliest time for singles
PITTSBURGH (UPI) -- The Christmas and New Year holidays are the hardest time to be single, harder even than Valentine's Day, a poll of a U.S. Catholic online community says. Almost 3,000 members of the online singles group CatholicMatch.com responded to a poll asking which was the loneliest holiday for singles. Forty percent said Christmas, and 32 percent named New Year's Eve. Only 26 percent said Valentine's Day, the Web site reported Friday.
The romance featured in Christmas movies, commercials and songs drives home the lack of a significant other, respondents said.
And New Year's Eve is also tough to face alone, one CatholicMatch member wrote.
"Everyone is paired off and dressed up," said Denise-464246. "Sitting at home with my bottle of sparkling cider is boring -- even if I put on my nice PJs."
Married friends and families of singles should try to be sensitive during the holidays, CatholicMatch co-founder Brian Barcaro said.
