Christmas Eve gift

Note: I think I wrote this very very late on the 24th and forgot to post it!

I read a book called The Christmas Bookshop, which is a nice story about a woman reconnecting with her family and finding romance and all that feel-good kind of stuff. I like to read something like that around Christmas time, it puts you in the mood, kind of. (I also pulled out that novella that I talked about last year called "The Best Gift" and re-read it, too, for good measure.) I have some more Christmas-themed books that are new to me but it's already after midnight here and so obviously if I get any of them read this year it's likely to be post-Christmas.

We are going to my sister's tomorrow - we went to see The Fabelmans with them today but we just met them at the theater for that. I enjoyed the movie - Rob went and read some stuff about it when we got home and he came away with the impression that most of the movie is based on the real events of Spielberg's life, at least loosely speaking.
