About this ebook
Christmas is an ethical and political minefield. Luckily, this survival guide contains valuable advice on how to navigate the hazards of the holiday season.
Learn how to...
* launch a scathing dinner table takedown on your woefully unwoke relatives
* craft your own sustainable decorations that bring festive cheer without compromising the 2050 Paris Agreement
* splurge on Black Friday without propping up the neoliberal capitalist agenda
* build a body-positive snowperson that isn't a straight white male for once
* skilfully avoid eating meat or dairy without it becoming a whole thing you have to justify for an hour.
Whether it's a stocking filler for a left-leaning loved one, or a Secret Santa gift for a painfully earnest colleague, A Snowflake's Guide to Christmas is the perfect gift for anyone with a bleeding heart (and a sense of humour) this holiday season.

I think this is a great little book! Actually I enjoyed it so much that I am about to give it to my friend to read too as I am sure that she would really appreciate it. Light-hearted and funny, while also actually providing some pretty interesting and practical tips about how to make it through Christmas. I actually expected it to be mostly taking the mick of 'woke' culture, while it does do that in a non-offensive way, it is not done in a poor spirited type of way. I think it would make a great secret Santa present and know plenty of people who would have a good smirk at it. Nice little sections too so it is easy to dip in and out of when you need something to make you smile. I don't think it will be everyones cup of tea, but I certainly think that most people will be able to get some enjoyment out of it and perhaps also pick up a few tips on how to handle Christmas.
