Happy holidays, Greater Victoria!

This week's packed with events that’ll inspire your family's inner architects, twinkling winter wonderlands with poutine and live music, and theatrical puppets whose noses grow with every fib. Whether you're looking to skate under the lights, see live theatre, or simply fill the limbo—that unanchored stretch of time between Christmas and New Year's—we've got you covered.

Inside this week's issue: We're giving away 10 personally autographed hardcover books from a Greater Victoria author who's topped the New York Times bestseller list, plus why your favourite beach log has a secret, and the latest on Esquimalt's deer debate.

Let's make this week wonderful! 💙
