The holidays -- especially New Year's Eve -- can be the loneliest time of the year if you're single. I remember that from personal experience.

View Article  10 ideas for putting the "bike" back in Christmas

The About.com website recently listed its top 10 gift ideas for Christmas. I can't say that I agree with most of them, so I'll offer some better suggestions.
