Over on the MSNBC (hence the return of Sexy Bill Gates), Today Show correspondent Dr. Laura Berman doesn't want you making the same mistake that everyone's made over the holidays: drinking unpasteurized eggnog. Huh? Oh, sorry. Banging your ex.
Loneliness around this time is inevitable, and many single people like to turn to a familiar place for comfort: the arms of an ex. We all have one stuffed in the closet of our lives — whether it is a long-ago love, or a recent breakup, exes always seem to be just a phone call away.
OK, you know what might also be good advice? Don't listen to anyone who's clearly thought about stuffing their exes in a closet. If that means playing Secret Santa with your high school backseat-mate, well then Happy Holidays to you!
