How will you be spending your Christmas dinner this year, spreading holiday cheers, or shedding holiday tears?

Have you ever been played by a player in the height of the holidays? It’s a sad, but unfortunate truth that there will be at least two or three women maneuvering to hook the attention of one man to sit at the table with them and share the celebrated annual Christmas dinner this year. This unbalanced three-to-one predicament is nothing new to the ongoing competition the women have endured or indulged in all year long. However, what adds even more pressure at this time of the year is what the holiday season represents. Christmas is a time that is associated with traditional family bonding, spreading merriment with relatives and loved ones, and attending early morning church service, even if you haven’t done so since Easter.

People plan months in advance for the Christmas season—whether to buy the right gift or to prepare the right meal for the eagerly awaited Christmas dinner. In many households, this particular dinner, whether silently eaten or boisterously celebrated, reflects a symbolic cohesive family bond more so than any other meal throughout the year, including Thanksgiving.

Here is the dilemma: It is a know fact, that this can be one of happiest days of the year for many people, yet sadly for others, especially for a single woman in an affair with a married man, it is one of the most depressing times. This is because she knows all too well that settling for a part-time lover, will only give her a part-time guarantee (if any at all), whether or not he will visit her on this special holiday. Many women sit desperately by the phone, being grateful to receive even a phone call from the man they are involved with.

Here is the reality: Even if a man is the most notorious player (Mr. Married Bachelor), he knows that he is expected to plant himself at home, at the table with his "legitimate" wife and their children when dinner is served. With this in mind, he works overtime to develop a plan to skillfully maneuver and manipulate his way to do a quick "stop-by" the homes of his other "additional" women throughout the day. In a nutshell, he devises a deceitful plan of action to include a full day of three meals and side dish.

Here’s the plan: Keep in mind that the motive of the meal plan, the make-shift dinners throughout the day, of this married bachelor stud is to satisfy and keep his various women in his stable with the notion that, "You mean so much to me, that I’ve made every effort to spend some time with you on this special day."

Let us peek into this extreme, yet real case of how Mr. Married Bachelor’s schedule plays out on a sacred Christmas day:

5:00 am - He rises early Christmas morning, at the crack of dawn, sneaks out of bed and locks himself in the bathroom, turns on the faucet to drown out the sound of his phone calls, as he whispers romantic sweet words and holiday cheers to his other women. Their responses are similar: "Baby, if you really love me like you say, you would come by and spend some time with me, today of all days."
