The winter holidays can be hard on a lot of us especially with strained or no family relations. What are your coping mechanisms, traditions, celebrations, things you do to get through the season?

Well it’s been fine for the last few years because I live in a different country from my parents (they don’t know I’m trans but are still deeply toxic people) and don’t have the funds to visit them. So Christmas is just me, my partner and my kids. Just the way I like it.
Before that we had Christmas and new year’s with friends where we’d all make a different part of dinner and meet up at whoever’s house was most suitable and just have a giant feast with home-brewed ale.
