1. My dad came over today to give us some snacks for the bunnies for Christmas morning. We’ll see my parents on Christmas, he specifically came over to make sure we had something nice for the bunnies _for Christmas morning_. I love my dad very much. 2. Pretty sure a last minute gift has indeed arrived on time. 3. It’s the weekend! ---

1. I will be spending tomorrow with my family. 2. Christmas traditions, like me and my sister wrapping gifts together… even if these days we do it via a video call. 3. Lisa’s baking today, for tomorrow: this year’s cakes are lemon meringue pie (a perennial favourite) and pineapple upside-down bundt cake (which is new, though I taste-tested last week). ---

1. A pleasant day with a friend for his birthday. 2. The magic that happens when cream is whipped to the point that it suddenly becomes stiff. 3. SGQ: I finished wrapping presents for our family party tomorrow instead of leaving it for the morning. ---

1. Very nice peaceful Christmas. 2. I didn’t derail on Beeminder despite my Christmas “[weight gain](https://www.beeminder.com/shanaqui/toberead)”. (It’s a joke, I’m referring to the number of books I was given!) 3. My dad remembered and bought the nuts I really really liked last year and put out a bowl of them for us yesterday. Om nom nom. ---

1. I had some fresh figs at perfect ripeness. 2. I have the audiobook of The Hobbit, narrated by Andy Serkis, and he does Gollum’s voice just like he did in the Lord of the Rings movies. I’m not much of a fan of the movies but I think Andy Serkis does a good job of narration. 3. SGQ: I have made a commitment to write a self-gratitude item at least five days per week (not necessarily always in public). I like that I am working to improve my mental health. ---

1. Hung out a bit with a couple of people we hadn’t spent time with for a while, in FFXIV. 2. Used some of my Christmas presents! I got a bath tray and a bath thermometer rubber ducky, so last night I had a hot bath at the perfect temperature, and had my drink and things handy on the tray. 3. Chocolate! ---

1. Very much enjoyed a couple of seasonal movies that we watched without the usual in-depth, slightly over the top, pre-watch vetting process! 2. Invited over for a lovely quiz evening with friends 3. Hopefully extracted some lessons from a slightly insane afternoon of going “on tilt”\* in chess! - “on tilt” = just playing again and again despite loosing relentlessly… ---

1. My dad went off-wishlist to try to choose me a book himself, which is always a very brave and risky thing to do (I often have the book already), but he picked wonderfully. He got me _The History of Wales in Twelve Poems_ by M. Wynn Thomas, and I liked it a lot. 2. I was able to get a foldable bluetooth keyboard for my Steam Deck quite cheaply, so I can play FFXIV and still chat to folks on there when I’m away from home in a couple of weeks. 3. New bookshelf! It’s not very big, but every little helps. ---

1. @philip for [this clever idea for reviewing nice things people have said](https://forum.beeminder.com/t/new-years-resolutions-december-dry-run/11284/26). I have some recorded (mostly from ages ago) so I can try this. 2. A pleasant day set aside for doing mostly whatever I felt like. 3. SGQ: I walk quickly. ---

- self-gratitude: **i’m grateful i didn’t get frustrated trying to figure out the double-sided printing of my booklet.** (without issues there wouldn’t be anything to figure out, but some pages turned out crinkly and i had to redo them and it was a whole thing …) - **i’m grateful the office work i had to do today wasn’t tedious.** - **i’m grateful for the music of [wir sind helden](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wir_sind_Helden).** (link to wikipedia) [Previous page](https://forum.beeminder.com/t/gratitude-journaling-together/6558.md?page=175) [Next page](https://forum.beeminder.com/t/gratitude-journaling-together/6558.md?page=177)
