When you’re single and looking, the holidays–and all that togetherness and love stuff–can be enough to drive you to drink one too many egg nogs. What’s worse, if you’re around all those happy folks they really don’t want to hear how lonely and miserable you might be, so you’re often forced to suffer in silence. Not this time. In the spirit of commiseration, Beyond Black & White and  AfroRomance feel you should have an outlet to discuss your general feelings of holiday suck-dom amongst your peers. Tell us why being single this holiday season is dooming you to a sucky Christmas and New Year’s Day, and get the chance to start 2013 off with a prize. The writer with the most creative, humorous, and/or unusual comment who gets the most amount of “likes” from the BB&W community of their peers will receive THREE FREE MONTHS membership and a copy of “Swirling: How to Date, Mate & Relate, Mixing Race, Culture & Creed.”

So what are you waiting for? Start typing! Contest closes this Friday, December 14.
