Con: No one to take a five hour nap with post feast.

Pro: No one to look cute for when your yam & pumpkin pie filled stomach is hanging over your pants.

Con: No one to automatically take sides with you when you are debating gender politics with Uncle Jim.

Pro: You don’t have to share the twin bed.

Con: No one to tag along with you to your awkward high school bar reunions.

Pro: You can get drunk on mimosas with your 80-year-old Aunt Flossie and talk about boys.

Con: You have to endure the recurring question of where HE is and why HE isn’t here this year.

Pro: You aren’t obligated to share the leftovers you get to bring home.
