Five ways to deal with a break-up this Christmas
Updated | By Poelano Malema

Christmas is the worst time to get dumped, especially if you are used to spending the Festive Season with your partner. The thought of having to spend the Festive Season without him/her can be quiet depressing, but don’t let your failed relationship stop you from enjoying your Christmas.
Here are some tips to help you through what is usually a rough time:
- Go out and have fun
Locking yourself in your room will lead to obsessive overthinking, which will do more harm than good. So, go out and have fun. Don’t turn down invitations just because you are scared you will have nobody to hang around with. You might just be surprised and make new friends or even meet your soulmate!
- Make new memories
Being single gives you the freedom to do what you like when you like. So be creative and come up with ideas that will help you create your own memories.
- Avoid going to places where you are likely to bump into your ex
To help yourself heal faster, avoid going to places where you are likely to bump into your ex, because that could just ruin your day, especially if you spot him with another woman.
- Avoid doing things that will remind you of your ex
Yes, you shared some great moments together doing stuff, but now it’s time to find activities that you can do on your own that will also make you happy.
- Buy yourself a Christmas present
No one can love you more than you love yourself, so why not spoil your lovely self with a nice Christmas gift? Life is too short to wait on others to make you happy. So buy yourself something nice!
