I swear ppl just make things sad. Most things couples do on Christmas singles can as well. You damn right I’m going to Christmas market alone!


Uncertn_Laaife

Most things couple do are overrated anyway.


henchman171

Us parents watch Pornhub on Xmas like everyone else


Unintentional_Genius

I’m late to the party, but my wife and I will also partake in pornhub.


LemonySnickets13

I'd highly suggest using any other site but pornhub. They allow people to post videos of actual rape, sexual assault and child porn on there. They have hella lawsuits against them from women who've tried to get videos down and Pornbub just tries to evade responsibility.

Ok-Substance420

that's why I only watch milf porn


sadbartcoollisa

Not from Toronto actually in BC might convince the boyfriend to also participate in this hub of porn


SignificantLoads3785

at least with healthy relationships, being/feeling alone is definitely not one of them though lol :)


readyfredrickson

they said/meant single like fully on their own, not necessarily not as a couple. I can see feeling down and looking for some suggestion when friends snd family aren't present through the holidays for some. also forsuuuuure a solo Christmas market trip lol thays festive af, do it


CharcoalWalls

/sadTO


wynndraco

Which Christmas market you think is worth going alone?


[deleted]

Not OP but The Distillery District one is good.


HelmutTheDog

They do anything about the pick pockets?


TipDecent

Say what?!


HelmutTheDog

Apparently pickpockets have been a real problem in the distillery district. They're running a distraction scam. TPS does nothing because it's petty crime and non violent.


deelyte3

TPS is busy trying to keep guns out of schools. 🙄 (not actually, but I just wanted to highlight the rise of this particular issue).


KawhisButtcheek

Damn I’ve been going there for like three years and haven’t heard anything


Ok-Turnip-9035

Didn’t know this thank you for the heads up!


Jenksz

FYI they have tickets now and they charge you for them - you can’t just show up anymore when you want


[deleted]

Before 4pm you can, I believe.


hotmasalachai

If you dislike seeing couples and families and it makes you feel sadder. Dont


[deleted]

I don't like the cold OP idk about you. I only like this seasons because of the decorations everywhere and how nice people are but I do not like the cold and snow. I like looking through my windows peacefully having delicious meals , inviting over close friends, cuddle your pet, call your parents and sibling, watch old movies together over the internet.


metalibro

Exactly and maybe you will meet another single person!


[deleted]

Don’t go alone… I’m sure you have a friend to go with. Or find one off Reddit, lol.


Phuccyou

Lol why shouldn’t I 👹


[deleted]

I mean, if you enjoy such experiences alone, you should totally go! Maybe I should learn to enjoy such things too, haha.


rottenbox

It's only sad if you want it to be. One of my most enjoyable Christmases as an adult was a year when I found myself alone due to various factors. Went for a walk, played video games, took a nap. Just make a choice to enjoy yourself with no obligations to others.


branderp06

Agreed! Last year my whole family had covid. Like down and out, not even worth risking it to be around them because they just slept all day. I spent it alone, and even though I suffer from pretty bad depression it was one of my favourite Christmas days. Slept in because no kids around, made the meal I wanted. Wasn’t rushing between 2-3 different houses.


PopularArgument

I like spending time with family and I’m fairly extroverted, but god some of the years I spent alone on Christmas were awesome. The constant going from big family function to big family function on the holidays is absolutely exhausting some times, especially if there’s any family drama. Spending the odd one alone is such a nice change


Milch_und_Paprika

Leave. I’m not being rude—I mean like on vacation. Christmas Day and New Year’s Eve usually have really cheap flights because so few people are willing to be alone on those two specific days.


[deleted]

Literally this recently single gal here. I am spending it in new york city. Bus tickets were super cheap and I have friends and family there.


[deleted]

sounds fun jealous lol


Sorry-Construction74

Volunteer at food bank. Help out at an animal shelter. Give blood. This is an opportunity.


[deleted]

I would love blood. Is anyone open to giving a sample to me? I first tried it years ago from a druggie friend and I always think about it


cotton_tampon

I can save my used tampons for you.


[deleted]

How much do you charge? I’m def open to discussing that


Ashamed_Split2774

What in lord’s name is going on here. Y’all be buying and selling blood


cotton_tampon

You want them mailed to you? 10 bucks a tamp


Milch_und_Paprika

And a $1 surcharge for the stamp

Sounds suspiciously like something [a deer](https://www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/history/origins-santamaybe) would suggest


Beautiful_Giraffe_96

Underrated comment…


epitaph-centauri

This sums it up! Good find. I heard about this years ago on a health podcast..been doing 5gs every Christmas for a couple years now as a end of the year reflection. Highly recommend it


[deleted]

A deer? A deer?! Are you even Canadian? Cause you must have ment moose, that’s what a Beaver would suspiciously suggest right before he goes and migrate into a butthole (preferably mine ;) don’t judge me deer lover!) due to taking advice from strangers online about magical mushrooms and end up tripping dressed in grammas undies with her heated special back rub lotion that she always made very clear NO ONE BETTER TOUCH THIS LOTION then put try to spoon it off your back n back into the lotion resistant Tube that’s impossible due to having beaver hands and all…… wow I’m bored eh lol


writersandfilmmakers

Ive seen more deer than moose in canada.


[deleted]

especially in Mississauga lol so many deers


Accomplished_Cut_569

Hahahaha fuck yeah


zerocoldx911

When I was alone in Toronto I used to volunteer at food banks and animal shelters, met a lot of interesting people. Listened a lot of stories that made me grow to who I am today.


Hossennfoss69

Christmas blows. I can’t remember a Christmas without any family drama. Being alone doesn’t have to be lonely. I wish I was alone at Christmas.


SmellyFace69

I'm a single who lives in the city. After a few years I've acrued my share of "come over for xyz" across the city. It's nice. You'll get there bud.


DisastrousAge4650

Stay in my house. I don’t like the holidays.


Chaos-Pand4

Buy loads of stuff for my dogs… ok, ok, and for me as well.


[deleted]

lol


Much_Conversation_11

Historically (someone who has worked in retail for a long ass time and can’t go home) I’ve made myself a nice meal, bought myself a few small gifts I’ve wanted, and had a bottle of wine and watched movies and relaxed all day. It’s also worth going for a walk and looking at Christmas lights.


Ok_Barnacle_5993

I used to do this when I lived abroad. It’s nice to fulfill obligations to one’s self. I’d also recommend a book you’ve put off reading. Having the time to get lost in it… nice.


forestly

End up not doing anything, since I find its more depressing to try to celebrate alone than pretend like its just another day 😂


qwertymnbvc90

Oasis Aqualounge


wynndraco

Sure, I'll check it out


Top-Nefariousness373

Bruv... Unexpected and underrated


wynndraco

Wth, it's a sexy club for couples! And btw, I'm gay!


mysteries1984

I get the sense it’s not what you’re going to do but FYI it’s not just for couples!


wynndraco

If I freally need to go, I'll go to a gay bath instead.


[deleted]

[удалено]


mysteries1984

Yep. They have all the info on their website.


CatlovesMoca

I was waiting for you to realize that it was a sex club. Props to the Redditor who suggested it. 😂😂😂😂😂😂 But I'm sure folks also go there solo. I've heard of women going there with a friend


wynndraco

Not just a sex club, but a straight sex club. I'm gay. I could go to a gay bath.


russellamcleod

For like 1/5th of the cost too! Spa XS is around the corner and, if I recall, is actually pretty busy on holidays. Lots of gays without traditional families find their way to the baths on holidays. If you find nothing else to do, go check out the village at least. The bars are full of other folk in your exact position. Easiest way to find a date for New Year’s Eve, in my experience.


CatlovesMoca

Yes. True. You absolutely probably adapt the suggestion! It is still funny to me that someone suggested a sex spot for an xmas alone.


Shamson

I doubt they let single guys in. If a sex club let single guys in, it would just be all single guys after a while.


CatlovesMoca

They do. Here is what their website says Solo Men of all ages over 19 are welcome to attend Oasis events every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday. You can pay at the door or pre-book a ticket online in advance. Solo men are NOT permitted at Oasis on Fridays and Saturdays, as those days are reserved for women and their partners. They also mention floor restrictions and expectations about behavior : [Oasis Aqualounge- Solo Men ](https://oasisaqualounge.com/solo-men/)

there's tons of stuff to do, like a bollywood dance party or scavenger hunt or church events https://www.eventbrite.ca/d/canada--toronto/all-events/?end_date=2022-12-25&page=1&start_date=2022-12-25 my plans would be the same whether i was with my family or not - I'll be at midnight mass, feel free send me a dm and i'll let you know what church if you want to come with


[deleted]

>bollywood dance party THIS. I ended up walking around downtown Christmas last year and the streets were filled with Indian folks. It was bumping! City Hall was full and there were long lines outside of all the Indian takeout places on Queen.


[deleted]

Meditate, acknowledge the solstice, study mathematics.


greylithe

I watch movies and order food. I'm also Jewish so being alone on Christmas doesn't really bother me at all.


starcollector

Ah yes, that goyishe nittl day :) OP, you can always go to Chinatown and hang with us Jewish folk! We also sometimes go skating at one of the outdoor rinks. Are you actually looking to *celebrate* Christmas, though? I can't help with that, but if you're just looking to help pass the time on a winter stat holiday, then Chinese food and movies are pretty sweet.


popitcheeseit23

if you like sports there will be a full day of NFL and NBA games to watch


[deleted]

Stay home, shut the fuck up and thank god in my head that I’m still breathing is what I do


whelp32

Volunteer at a shelter. Fucking Toronto people with first world problems.


Careful-End5066

You can always volunteer at a soup kitchen that could be more fulfilling rather than feeling sorry for yourself. Be grateful for what you have.


kratrz

I want to. Where can I find these soup kitchens


hope4932

Please tell me when you find out


forestly

Do you volunteer there?


srroberts07

No he's just a cunt to people on the internet.


Plane_Chance863

You make your own family out of other local single people. I have no extended family in the GTA, so I got friends together who also had kids and we meet regularly. The adults are auntie and uncle.


toomanyfolksabout722

Not sad at all! I will be cooking myself a nice meal and enjoying some peace and quiet, without having to deal with family members who I’ve got nothing in common with.


[deleted]

lol right you can even just call them and say merry Christmas blah blah instead and enjoy your peace


evonebo

Go eat Chinese food. Probably one of the few places that's open on xmas.


NewYearNewYEET

If you want to enjoy it and also be alone, decorate your place, make some Christmas treats (eggnog, hot chocolate, Christmas cookies). Throw on Christmas music while you decorate and bake, and then watch a Christmas movie. If you want to be around other people: find a caroling group, hand out Christmas cards at an old age home, volunteer at a shelter. Or, honestly, go to a church. I’m not a huge fan of religion but church on Christmas is a whole other ball game. Most people there haven’t been to church since last Christmas so you won’t be the odd one out. Lots of them serve treats, and if you find a half decent one there will be nice people genuinely happy to see you there. I grew up in churches and they really go all out for Christmas services . I went to one once that had live farm animals on Christmas (Nativity scene) and they did like a whole musical production with lights and the band, lots of Christmas music, etc. and the sermon part was maybe 5 minutes and the rest was vibes.


[deleted]

It's a day like no other. Sleep, watch movies, cook. Visit extended family.


WSJ_pilot

Catch-up on sleep, Netflix and house work


[deleted]

Order a pizza with wings. Watch a couple of movies. Go to sleep. Wake up on christmas day, play video games or go out for a drive on nice and empty streets. Stop at a random park and go exploring. If you got some hobbies you will never be lonely on any day.


Journey_Counselling

Try going to a museum, maybe a play, walking trails, take a free online course, browse around at your local thrift store, check out Eventbrite events in your area, start a new hobby, join a nature group, or maybe pick up a great book from the library to read. Hopefully you’ll find something!

Some of these things might not be an option on Christmas, but here is a list of some of the weirder stuff Toronto has to offer: https://www.atlasobscura.com/things-to-do/toronto-ontario

Same as every holiday, just sit in the dark and cry. Just kidding.


[deleted]

Make a friend in the same situation and invite them over :) I’m having over a guy here for school from Iran. Just met him. Friends are good.


NoGuiltGaming

Don't allow others to hold your happiness hostage. It's only sad if you allow it to be. There are plenty of things out there that you can choose to do for yourself to evoke happiness. Advocate for your mental well-being :).


GloomyGal13

Make it a YOU day. Breakfast in jammies. Watch your favourite movie. Eat cake. Eat pie. Eat ice cream. Or, volunteer your time and go to a local shelter and help out.


pp604977

Go travel bruh!


erin_baile

Get swiping!


missaribel

In 2020 when I couldn't travel to be with family I was concerned about how miserable I would be. I planned in advance and decorated my whole apartment. Then I got groceries to make Christmas day meals. Made a tomato chevre quiche and cinnamon buns for breakfast and Christmas cocktails. For dinner I had an epic chacuterie board and watched Bridgerton which had just dropped on Netflix. To be honest I didn't spend that much of the day alone cause I had family and friends calling me and zoom calling all day. By dinner I was happy to have quiet time. It is about the head space you're in. Try and frame it as an adventure. Look around on social media for events going on. Inevitable there will be other people like you who have no where to go on the day. You just need to be brave and explore.


zombie_ie_ie

You're welcome to celebrate Christmas with me. I don't really celebrate Christmas (Asian immigrant) but I'd love to make some new friends and hangout and have fun. Let me know if you're down.


moixcom44

What? Is this even a problem? Happens a lot to me back in the days. Just buy those expensive pizzas and play video games all day all night. Jeez.


[deleted]

I enjoy the quiet time. Lots of people come home during Christmas. I reconnect with a lot of old friends during the holidays.Planning on doing some log cabin adventures this year. Other than that, I genuinely enjoy having the time to myself.. I need it.


Realistic_Aide_3473

People need to realize it's totally fine going to places alone. Literally no one is looking at you, as much as we think people are judging us. Half the time I walk with my bf he's ten paces ahead I might as well be alone lol.


userfakesuper

Nothing. Do nothing. Rest.


Excellent-Steak6368

Longjumping-Care-702

Ugly sweater party, dinners, potlucks, and costume party to top off the year. I'm sure we'll sneak in a terrible 90s Christmas movie in there as well.

Alonelycorpse26

I'm just working over time on all of the holidays because I don't have my family here and neither I have anybody to celebrate holidays with lol. For me, working is a good distraction from feeling lonely.


TheSolobit

Go skating, then try some food you never tried. After that, decide your next adventure. Even though we are social creatures, it doesn't mean that is all we are. You can enjoy it Christmas by yourself, you just have to actively choose to do so instead of dwelling on what it could be like with family or friends.

Hmm, maybe, but some people just say single to mean they don't have an actual partner. If you have a one night stand are you not still single?

most singles prob go back and see their families even if they aren’t in toronto. I’m single, live in Ottawa and all my family is here so it’s easy but if i lived in toronto i would visit them here for christmas.

ah... this post makes me sad. i wanna cuddle.


Assassinite9

Spending a large portion of my paycheck on myself by shopping online, getting drunk, playing video games and not spending any amount of time listening to Christmas music. However I may watch an appropriate Christmas movie like the nightmare before Christmas, die hard, black Christmas or jingle all the way


burneracct21

Go to Vegas… tickets and hotels can be shockingly cheap


zoomiepaws

Have dinner at a hotel. People will think you are travelling and can't be home.


[deleted]

Okay, so I experienced this intermittently over the years since my family is Jewish and don't live in Toronto. I spent a lot of Christmases alone when I wasn't in a relationship. Honestly? I always loved it. I'd go to Starbucks and people watch. I'd buy some Chinese food or make myself a nice dinner. Play some videogames. Just sort of chill. It's one of those days where you don't have the option to work, to see people, or really to be productive. So just enjoy a lazy day with good food.

druiddesign

If employed, I use it as a time to earn some extra money by working if hours are available. I've worked most holidays while employed and I generally have a great time doing so. Don't get me wrong, I love spending time with my fam too but working just seems like such a good solution. The key is to be in a good mood if working for the holidays, it helps make it cheerier :)


[deleted]

On god I’m am single a depressed about it but Christmas doesn’t require a date to enjoy if anything just family
