The holiday season is in full force on the web, and this year, Mashable is spreading cheer both on and offline. You've seen our spirit in the Mashable 10 gift guide and other holiday coverage. Now we're inviting you to celebrate with us by attending or organizing a Mashable Holiday Meetup on December 16.
A Mashable Meetup can take just about any shape you’d like depending on what best suits your social community. For planning tips, check out our how-to guide or join the Mashable Meetup Organizers Facebook Group.
Tech and Holiday Themes
Here are a few topic suggestions that marry two of our favorite things: technology and the holidays!
Host a Holiday Gathering: Socialize wearing your favorite cheesy Christmas sweater while drinking eggnog and eating fruitcake. You can throw a huge party or organize an intimate get together -- as long as you're spreading Christmas cheer!
Support a Social Good Project: The holiday spirit inspires people to pay it forward, and your Mashable Meetup could be the perfect way to encourage this by focusing on change via social media. Whether you host your meetup at a local food shelter or raise awareness for a global cause, a social good meetup will get at the heart of what the holiday season is really all about.
Demo Gadgets on Your Wish List: For tech geeks like us, there are few activities more fun than playing with new gadgets. Get a group together and check out each others' phones, laptops, gaming consoles, or any other tech products you might have available. It's a great way to form your own holiday wish list and get gift ideas for your loved ones.
