I'm a little late, considering Hanukkah is over tonight. This is a heart-warming project geared toward LGBTQ people without family for the holidays,
http://www.yourholidaymom.com/
"Hello Dear Friends And Supporters!
This season, supportive moms (and dads, sisters, brothers,
grandparents and friends too!) have gathered to send a holiday message
to all LGBTQ children, teens and adults who are without family support
and who would like a “stand-in Holiday family.” Knowing that not every
parent is ready to accept her own LGBTQ child exactly as-is (as hard as
this is for us to imagine), we have written to extend our love beyond
that of our own family.
We are not celebrities. We are everyday friends and family from
everyday homes. Many, but not all, have LGBTQ children of our own
(hence, some use full names and photos, and some do not). Many, but not
all, are straight. In other words, even our writers here represent
diversity. The vast majority of us came together because they heard
about the project in our 2012 season, and many have never met me or each
other. The common bond we share is that we are so full of love and
pride for our own children–LGBTQ and straight–we wanted to extend
ourselves beyond our own families and do something more."
