http://www.yourholidaymom.com/ is a blog run by a bunch of moms (and sometimes other parents) who will post a letter to you daily until Christmas with words of acceptance and welcome.  It was designed specifically as a project for kids and adults who face rejection over the holidays because of their sexuality or gender.  This meant a lot to me the first year that I was isolated by my family, and I wanted to share it with all of you.

Some made themselves at home in the nearshore kelp forests, decorating the kelp plants like crabby Christmas tree ornaments.
