Betwixmus

A woman for The Guardian wrote an article about a tradition she and her single friends have between Boxing Day and New Year's Eve. They call it Betwixmas and it's basically Single People's Chistmas. 

It's the time when you don't really have to go to work (or no one cares if you show up) and you can hang out with your friends and not be bothered by family obligations or anything like that. I think it's a lovely tradition. 

Of course, every traditionalist in the comments had to trash this as hard as they could. They insulted the writer for being single and claimed there was no way she could be at peace about it. They insulted the idea of single people just wanting to live their lives and have fun. The ones who were married tried to argue their choices were far better and the ones who were still single and bitter about it (most often, men) ranted about how horrible it was that people could possibly CHOOSE this as a way of life. 

Once again, stop hating on other people's joy. Let people be joyful about whatever they want. It really isn't harming you. Your time would be better spent finding some joy for yourself.
