La cuvée Ciné-cadeau 2023
Je dois toutde suite commenter une nouvelle importante pour les Fêtes qui s'en viennent: la grille-horaire de Ciné-cadeau 2023 est sortie aujourd'hui. La cuvée Ciné-cadeau, comme je l'appelle. Qu'en pensez-vous? Je vais regarder ça tranquillement et donner mon avis (ou pas) dans un prochain billet. On peut commencer à penser à Noël au Québec quand on connaît la teneur de la cuvée Ciné-cadeau.

Post. Christmas. Blues.
It might sound early, but I'm already feeling the post-Christmas blues, even though there's plenty of holiday left. Christmas has come and gone and after the 25th, it really go downs quickly. It may be earlier this year because I was sick on Christmas day and the days leading to Christmas. On the plus side, I have been relaxing and enjoying the quieter days. So yes, I have the post-Christmas blues, but I can live with my melancholy, as long as I acknowledge it. And you, feeling bluesy now?

Good King Wenceslas
No, no, this is not Boxing Day. It is Saint Stephen's Day and that means I am listening to and sharing the carol Good King Wencesla. So yeah, enjoy.

Christmas Thrillers
'Tis the season to be watching and I thought I would share something with you today, if you have time to read this blog preparing for Christmas. Anyway, I stumbled upon this article giving ten thrillers set in part or in full during Christmastime. I watched most of them, so will try to find the other ones to enjoy this season or the next. They are not exactly Christmas movies, but there is enough Christmas elements in them to give them a Yuletide feel. In any case, I prefer to watch thrillers to romcoms, migh as well make them seasonal.
Tempête de neige sur le Québec
Pas de chance pour moi: une tempête hivernale a frappé le Québec récemment. Il neige, il vente, c'est la totale. Ce genre de tempête que je n'ai pas vécu depuis que je suis ici. Ce qui veut aussi dire que le Québec aura un Noël blanc. Je sais que beaucoup de foyers seront privés d'électricité et que c'est vraiment difficile pour bien du monde et je ne veux pas minimiser ça. Cela dit, dans le confort de la maison de mes parents, une tempête de neige, c'est toujours joli.

A Storm for Christmas
'Tis the season to be watching and I surprised myself in that regard recently. I wanted to watch something Christmassee but not silly and stumbled upon A Storm for Christmas, a Netflix miniseries. It is set in Oslo airport right before Christmas, when a snowstorm forces the flights to be cancelled and the passengers to be stranded. It follows an ensemble cast of characters who must face their own demons through the crisis that the storm brings. I started watching it not expecting much (it is usually the case when I watch something on Netflix) and I think I fund my ew Christmas classic. Julestorm, as it is called in Norwegian is touching without ever going soppy, people earn their happy endings, although for some they are bittersweet. I finished it today after binging it.
