Keeping up with the recaps so far!
Okay, so beginning of the month was my bday (yippee āØ), and I made my mi-cuit au chocolat (moelleux au chocolat pour les autres franƧais) that we shared with mu mom, my nan and my momās gf on the day. That evening was spent with my lovely gf as well ^w^
Lessons stopped early this month, and both my choir and theater rehearsals were in the first half of the month as well, so I had 2 weeks to ārestā (in ā because I am bad at resting and I always get sick this time of year).
I celebrate Yule discreetly because I was getting a bit sick; ended up just setting up the 12 wishing nights ritual. For those who donāt know, basically you write a 12 wishes on 12 pieces of paper, and everyday you burn (or get rid of some other way) of one. The one left on the 1st January is what your guides would like you to focus on for the upcoming year.
Once my gf was free (23rd), we went on a date in LiĆØge to see FNAF2 and take a walk in the town,s Christmas Village/Market. I got a tiny gift to give to her parents since I was invited over for Christmas; got shea butter for my mom, my gf and I; as well as a candle. I also went home with a crystal ring and a candle holder with a little spinning umbrella with charms on top that spins with the candleās heat, both courtesy of my lovely gf š
Next day was Christmas Eve with her family, and it went surprisingly well! (Their parents, mom mostly, didnāt like me at all for most of our relationship, and it only started to go well recently)
We ate a burgundy fondue and it was pretty good! Lacked some aromatic herbs and spices but I still enjoyed it a lot! We also played some board gamesāin which the parents joined?? Christmas miracle muchā and watched Beetlejuice (very season relevant, I know XD)
The next day, we opened the giftsāthey got me fruity infusions! /posā and we spent the afternoon playing Mario Kart and Overcooked 2 with her siblings on the switch, it was pretty fun!
Their elderly doggo also came to me for cuddles, sheās such a sweet dog š„ŗ
Coming back home, since I stopped medicated for the most part when i wasnāt home, my big cold got much worseā¢ļø, so I pulled out the big guns. Ended up not being enough, and i ended the year on antibiotics, wooh āØ
This month, I watched The Conjuring on the 22nd and FNAF2 on the 23rdā once again, very season relevant XD
I also watched the new Knives Out Mystery, Wake Up Dead Man, with my gf on the 31st; as well as Gremlins (rewatch for me, new for her). Reviews coming soon!
I wrote 7219 words this month! Thatās nearly twice as much as last month, and I didnāt even really write during my time off cause I got sick, so woah!
This was my December! Looking forwards to see what 2026 will bring! āØ
