Two of my happiest Christmas present this year were from my Sister in Law who got me 1989 by Taylor Swift and the music from Bridgerton Season 2.

She also gave me a $25 Amazon gift card, the DVD of Dispicable Me 4, and a 10 pack of Zebra Mildliner Neutral palette creative markers that I’ve been wanting for a while. I’m looking forward to using them in my new (2025) Rhodia weekly planner along with my Pilot Kakuno strawberry-coloured fountain pen. I love my sister in law, who is crazy generous with her gifts.

Meanwhile, the OH got me tickets to two very special events as my Christmas presents.

The first is for this Saturday, for the matinee showing of the new Cirque du Soleil show, Crystal, for which I am sooooo excited to see. We’ve seen nearly all their shows this last 20 years ago.

The other ticket is for the Pro Women’s Hockey League (PWHL) showing here in Quebec City, between the Montreal Victoire and the Ottawa Charge for mid January. Guess who’s going to be buying not only a jersey but probably a toque too!

And you, what fun presents did you get from friends and family, or even bought yourself?
