I'm surprised there are people who actually get sad when Christmas and Valentine's Day come around because they are single. I thought there was more to life than dating or am I wrong?
There is, but I think that's when it hits home, since Christmas is considered a family holiday, Valentine's Day a "romantic" one. The rest of the year people do those other things that life involves.

they get sad because it's a reminder that they're alone when they don't want to be
