I had my very own place to live, I was no-longer homeless and couch surfing, so there was only one thing I could do. Extend my social network and meet other singles, especially single men. I wanted to be in love someday and it wasn't going to happen by itself. It was time for some holiday cheer. Feel better during the holidays.
So I decided to grab a couple bottles of cabernet, a list of my favorite singles and some mouth-watering recipes. My first singles dinner party was a hit.

My best girlfriend got together with an awesome man that night. I'm not sure what started it. Maybe it was the wine, maybe it was the candles, maybe it was the twinkle in her eyes, or even my bruschetta. But really, I think it was holiday magic. They have been together every day since. I know one thing for sure that holiday magic at that singles party turned into love. So what are you waiting for, Christmas? Hop on for Holiday Love
