If you're lonely or isolated or finding the Christmas period difficult for any reason, you might want to follow the hashtag #JoinIn

This tag is intended for people to start friendly chats about everyday stuff they're doing like making food, going for walks, listening to music etc.

It's fine to reply to posts with the JoinIn tag as the person who made the post is actively seeking conversation 🙂

Because of private stuff that has happened this year, I've woken up thinking about people who might like to celebrate today but who are not celebrating, or who are not celebrating with the people with whom they'd really like to celebrate.

I am particularly thinking of LGBTQ+ people with unsupportive, even dangerous, families, and people who have lost loved ones.

I don't have anything pithy or clever to say, just that I am thinking of you.
