Are you feeling lonely during the festive season? Have you tried the hashtag #JoinIn?

It works like this:

- During Xmas period, or any time, write about what you're doing and include the tag #JoinIn. It doesn't have to be anything elaborate or impressive!

- Search for (or follow) the tag #JoinIn, reply to other people's posts with that tag.

I know it sounds kind of simple, but it's worth trying!

I'm going to be on my own this year due to ongoing pandemic, but will see you at #JoinIn ☕

From the #poem Shapechangers in Winter by Margaret Atwood, in honour of the #Winter #Solstice:

This is the solstice, the still point
of the sun, its cusp and midnight,
the year’s threshold
and unlocking, where the past
lets go of and becomes the future;
the place of caught breath, the door
of a vanished house left ajar
