   I have been avoiding social situations but I think I'm going to have a fidget toy or two on hand. I think multiples of the same kind in case anyone wants to play with my fidget toy lol.

   Hello gnomemoresmokes,
   
   Thank you for sharing your holiday strategy!
   
   Sounds like you have been thinking ahead and are prepared for holiday gatherings.
   You've recognized that having something to keep your hands busy works and you've gone a step further and recognized that others might want to try your fidget spinner, so you will have more on hand to share! Now that's what I call using foresight and successful planning for the future!
   
   Wishing you the best this holiday season.
   
   Warm regards,
   Karen, Quit Coach
