The Jaguars’ Singles Tailgate On Christmas Eve Might Be The Saddest Holiday Event

Okay, look: the holidays are a super depressing time for a lot of people. Especially for those who are alone and wish they weren’t. Society and tradition dictate that you spend Christmas with your family, and if you don’t happen to have a family, you’re doing it wrong. Don’t buy into that claptrap. Live the life you want to lead and live it the best you can.

Having said that, we think we have found what is empirically the saddest thing you can probably do over the holidays: attend a “singles tailgate” at a Jacksonville Jaguars game before a game against the Titans.

Please don’t go to this. Please don’t “get your honey for the holidays.” Stay home and watch Claymation Christmas in your underwear. Go to a Chili’s dressed as the Grinch’s dog, Max. I can think of any number of things you can do that are infinitely less sad than this Jaguars tailgate thing.

I sincerely hope everyone has a Merry Christmas, especially Jags fans. I hope Santa brings you an extra-good draft pick this year. But please, come on. “Get your honey for the holidays?” Blech. Focus instead on what really matters: dressing up in a Santa suit and getting in that sweet Jags stadium pool. Now that‘s holiday spirit.
