So, you have a single friend at the holidays. We strange creatures can be a little unpredictable. We’re happy-go-lucky and carefree one moment and hiding on our couch in the confines or our home the next. We’re trying hard to have a good attitude. We’re attempting not to punch people who ask us what we’re doing for New Year’s Eve. Our pants stopped fitting last week because we’re the only ones in the house to eat all the cookies we couldn’t help but make.

Don’t want to be a burden to anyone but we can feel horribly left out. We’re a prideful bunch. We might be a little sad here and there. In the spirit of decoding our potentially confusing behavior right now, here are some tips on what in the world you need to do with us.

For the love of God, invite us out.

We want to feel wanted. We have grown strong and resilient and independent. This does not negate the wonderful feeling of our company being wanted. Inviting us to come along on your shenanigans means getting off the couch and pulling ourselves away from Hallmark movies that are not helping our situation.

When we invite you out, go.
