The Holiday Buddy System (or HBS for short)

The quickly approaching holidays can really SUCK for those of us without that "special someone". I have developed (along with a friend) The Holiday Buddy System (HBS). Going into the system there are probably some key concepts you should know about your buddy to avoid a holiday meltdown (especially if your holiday buddy is of the opposite sex):
1. Some people have a problem with response time. Returning calls, txts, etc. You may want to work on your response times because your buddy is liable to down a bottle of "holiday" pills if you are taking an exorbitant or ridiculously lazy amount of time to respond. After all, Noah wrote Ally 365 letters. You can return a text!!
2. Know your Holiday Buddy's sore spots. Such as: babies, not being that "special someone", oh and that another year of their life has slid down the drain and she is still alone and not nearly as young as she used to be. (ooopppsss! O.o sorry!)
3. Know your buddy's key low times. Ex: Christmas Eve or New Year's Eve or holiday party. They may need an extra bit that day or event.
4. Keep your buddy from making key mistakes of the season like dating someone that would normally make them vomit on themselves in order to get through. Inevitably, there will be a messy break up on January 1, the 2nd at the latest!
Happy Holidays everyone!!
