Ikea Switzerland is spreading some Christmas cheer with its "No Empty Chairs" program. It aims to match up lonely people this Christmas. No one should spend it alone!

The furniture retailer's website lets you register as a host or a guest at someone's home. When Christmas arrives, you will either host a stranger or be invited to a stranger's house. It is a pretty heartwarming act, actually.

But as Creativity Online points out, the program sounds like a romantic comedy, but then again how many people would risk having strangers coming in to their homes? Sounds pretty nightmarish at the same time too.
