Oh the weather outside is frightful…and the conversation inside is even frostier. We’ve all been at that awkward family holiday, when ultra-conservative Uncle Bob shares his desire to take away your reproductive rights, or your cousin’s new girlfriend makes a homophobic joke.

Feministing.com compiled a list of kick-ass resources to help us all get through the holidays.

With tips on everything from travel arrangements to self-care, this piece is something you’ll want to keep just as close as all of the holiday cookies. The guide includes advice on:

 

-celebrating away from family

-navigating tricky conversations (whether it’s your uninformed Granny, or full on aggressive party-goers at the buffet table)

-dealing with stereotypical gender roles that tend to surface around the holidays

-travel

-taking care of yourself (from dealing with an eating disorder to keeping emotionally healthy)

 

What are you waiting for? It’s already December, so go check out these tips!!
