The holidays can be a trying time for everyone, so English comedian Sarah Millican came up with an initiative to help people make it through. In 2010 she started the #joinin hashtag on Twitter, aimed at bringing tidings of comfort and joy to anyone struggling through this time of year.

Now the hashtag is back for its ninth year, continuing the heartwarming tradition.

This is a lovely thing. So #joinin is for anyone feeling lonely or alone on Christmas Day. I’ll post up how it works closer to the time. It’s a wonderful place to chat to folk. We’re all there for each other. This will be our 9th year. Please RT to spread the word.
