I quickly went to check online for Christmas gifts that were sold back. People are naive while trying to sell their new Samsung s8+ for the price indicated on the official site. Most of these smartphones were already much cheaper than the official listed price.

Diane and Jonathan introduced us to a very good board game and we enjoyed it very much. It is hard to beat 7 Wonders because we all know how to play and cheat at this game…:!

Excellent Christmas dinner with my family in Belgium: 19 people turned up. My uncle and my aunt went out of their ways to make everything perfect. We did whatever we could to enjoy everything.
I am happy to see that everyone was in good health. Tom cried before leaving because he wanted to stay :)! It probably meant that he enjoyed this early Christmas party.

So I read my sis’ xmas wish list for her kids. I am happy to know that my nephews already had almost everything she and her husband wanted for their kids.
I closed my eyes and I saw myself back when we arrived in France in 1984, I was 8 years old. My brother and I were sent to a storage room on a bus before Christmas so that we can pick up a toy given by charities. I do not remember what I had that day… All that I could remember were the big boxes of toys on display.
Today, I chose the toys that this kid wanted in that storage room because the memory of that kid lingered in my mind.

It was perfectly smooth and no pain all the way. That was the right amount of sport for the week!

It is time to catch up with some people I have not met for a while. I will attend the family reunion for Christmas this coming Saturday. Hopefully, the food will be as good as it was before!

I finally found the courage to do a technical control of my Toyota Yaris. I expected the brakes to be replaced but it turned out that the 2 front tires (worn-out) and the front wipers needed to be replaced: 256 Euros. I knew everything was OK but I did not want to take any risk if I am taking my brother or any member of my family for a long trip to Belgium.
Thanks to Groupon, I only paid 39 Euros for the check-up and a second check-up in my case. Initially, I wanted to replace the brakes. It was wiser to check and then repair or maintain.

I was about to throw away many invoices I had from my purchases: my TV, my desktop, my screens, my bike. However, I realized that if there was a fire in my apartment, I would need these invoices to get re-imbursed!
I scanned everything I have to save them onto my cloud space!

It feels great! My brain and my body were refreshed after each of these long runs.
I found the nice list of things to do to improve my hapiness: LINK
- Spend for others: I helped people and gave money to homeless people time to time
- Make a list of positive things: I write a blog
- Try new things: I tried new cooking recipes and I grow mushrooms for fun
- Anticipate a reward: I am waiting for the right time/price to buy the Samsung S8+
- Decorate with “blue”: I prefer white
- Have goals: win the legal battle
- Stop defending your point of view: I go my way instead
- Sleep 6 hours per day: Done!
- Have a lot of friends: NO
- Drink Beers: YES
