At NOM!NAL, we believe in doing things differently—following what matters to us as people and expressing our own values and creativity instead of just going along with society’s expectations. This is especially important to us during December, as the holiday season approaches.

Society often pressures us to spend too much on gifts and overindulge on food and drinks in the name of family and love. But what about those who are single, have families far away, or celebrate different traditions? Why does spending money have to be a way to show love, and why should a gift make up for a year of neglect?

"Holidays, but your way" is NOM!NAL’s way of addressing these issues. We’ll share ideas for thoughtful, money-free gestures, unique ways to celebrate with friends, alternative holiday traditions, and, of course, creative outfits for Christmas, Hanukkah, or any holiday celebration.
