Is the ghost of Christmas past, haunting the vision of the perfect coupled-up-Christmas? It's time to start a new tradition of the new single Yule. There are plenty of reasons to celebrate the holidays with a festive freedom like you've never had before.

Get out the mistletoe because you're going to need it. OK, you might not need it, but I promise you are going to want it, when the available handsome men show up at the wreath decorated door, bearing Burberry scarves, day spa gift certificates and the possibility of some new romantic holiday magic.
Just imagine … Putumayo World Christmas playing at the perfect volume on your iPod dock while you greet your guests, with the smells of your freshly shampooed hair, cinnamon-scented candles and walnut pesto-prosciutto-gorgonzola-pear bruschetta in the convection oven gently creating new smelling memories and possibilities for love in the New Year.
