So the holiday season has begun.¹ I have been thinking about the Spoutans who are or will be on their own during this time.²
¹ At least, the retailers and the media tell us so.

Many years ago, on Google+, we had various different things that we did to let people know that they weren't really on their own.³
³ We had some contests, some fun online games, and we also did a whole Secret Santa thing via Amazon and a couple of other online retailers.

I've used DrawNames.com for gift giving on SM. I thought it worked well.
Has anyone else played Gartic Phone? It's a mash up of sorts of the old telephone game & Pictionary. Works best w/groups of 8 - 10 people, I would say.

I will be on my own but not on my own. I will be housesitting for a friend, but going to dine with my family on Christmas day.
