To keep the tabs open, don't use the red button in the corner to close the window. Simply leave the window open with the tabs available.


Also, in Safari > Settings... > General you can set the "Safari opens with" to "All windows from last session."


When you shut down the computer you should get a prompt allowing you to "Reopen windows when logging back in". Make sure you check mark that box. This only reopens windows that are open, windows that you haven't closed.
