#surviving the holidays

[sunrisethoughts02]

just some holiday reminders!!

It’s okay to have complicated feelings about the holidays (even if you used to really love them).

it’s okay to hide in the bathroom/take a step outside for some deep breaths.

it’s okay if events or activities meant to be ‘fun/recreational’ (like shopping, cookie decorating, etc) are stressful or tiring for you.

remember that it’s okay to rest 💜

it’s okay to set boundaries even around family (‘I don’t feel like talking about that right now, etc’)

you deserve to be hydrated, rested, and well fed 💜

There is no wrong way to feel about something! There can be so much shame around struggling in a season famous for being filled with ‘love and joy.’ You aren’t alone and you are loved 💜💜

The holidays can be tough for some people, especially if you're not out to your family yet, or you're spending time with family who aren't the most accepting.

So we got some truly pro advice from our It Gets better Twitch Ambassadors! Watch more from our Chosen Family stream.

2023 Gävle Goat!

Well it’s getting to that time of year again, and our watch of the Gävle Goat approaches.

Our thirteen-meter tall straw friend will be inaugurated on December 3rd, and will stand for the holiday season (or until it burns).

Watch the live stream of the goat here!

Looking forward to another burn watch this year!

The Letter

It’s been 5 years since I wrote my family’s annual holiday letter. Since my brother, Phil, died on July 23, 2017, I’ve had no desire to write a happy holiday letter, or any holiday letter at all. My favorite time of year became the time of year I dreaded. I no longer dread Christmastime, but I also don’t look forward to it like I used to. I enjoy the music, the lights, the gift giving and…

My Holiday Truce gift for @therealsirsticker ! Happy Truce!

My brain immediately mashed the Amorpho and Vlad getting canceled prompts together the moment I saw them hahah they just fit (no clue what they did to cancel him though but it must have been horrible if there’s 14.5K tweets under #CancelVladMasters like dang….)

Its a little silly but still I hope you enjoy! :]
