The Bird Show. I was talking to one of my girlfriends last week and she and I are both

single now, newly single, and, you know, kind of having a hard time with it. And we're just talking

about the holidays coming up and what everybody's plans are going to be for Thanksgiving

and for Christmas and all that kind of stuff. And, you know, she's just realizing that it's a,

it's a tough time of year, I think, to be single.

Mm-hmm.

Absolutely.

You know, because it's like you're going back to, like, family and everybody wants to know what's going on with you or whatever.

And there's some sort of, like, implied, like, pity or something on single people, you know?

And it's, like, almost, it's almost, like, annoying and frustrating. And people are people, you know, and it's like almost, it's almost like annoying

and frustrating and people like, you're single. Oh, and it's the holiday.

Yeah. It's like this sort of like pity party thing or whatever. And it's like, no, really,

it's going to be okay. So I don't know. We were just trying to figure out like ways, like,

the best ways to sort of like beat the holiday blues. And I think we're both shortening our trips home to see our families. You're shortening? I think so. Because, like, extended period of time, like, at home, I don't know. It just gets depressing, I think. Like, I'm totally... I'm looking at you totally...

I can't understand where you're coming from because I would assume, especially with a family as tight as yours. Oh my God, my family's amazing. Right. You want to spend more time with them around that time. Well, and specifically, we're talking about that week between Christmas and New Year's. You know what I mean? because like going home for Thanksgiving is's kind of like a quick short trip anyway, right? And then going home like before Christmas, you're still excited and you're doing all those kind of like fun traditional things and you're cooking food and you're going shopping, you're wrapping gifts and, you know, all the excitement and all that stuff like leading up to Christmas. But it's the day after Christmas and that time to New Year's Eve.

Like, if I sat home with my folks for that week, I would probably want to shoot myself.

I think I really would.

Not because I don't love my family, but just because whatever.

So we've decided to sort of like battle the potential single person blues during that time,

we're going to just try to take a fantastic trip together.

I'm trying to get the timing down right of this whole thing.

Were you single last year around the holidays?
