REGINA — Christmas morning has come and gone, the wrapping paper is long recycled, and now the real stories are coming out. We hit the streets of Regina to ask a simple question: what did you get for Christmas? The answers were funny, heartfelt and deeply familiar.
Some gifts were unforgettable for all the right reasons. Thoughtful surprises. Long-hinted items that finally showed up under the tree. Others were memorable because they missed the mark entirely — gifts that sparked instant laughter, gentle teasing and family legends that will be retold every December. Every household has one.
Across Regina, many said their favourite gift was not something that needed batteries or receipts. It was time. Time at the table. Time spent laughing, eating too much, and reconnecting after a busy year. For others, the most meaningful part of Christmas came from helping someone else — donating, volunteering, or simply checking in on a neighbour.
For many, it was a reminder that Christmas gifts are never really about the object, but about effort, presence and connection, as well as showing up for the people who matter and remembering those who need a little extra care this time of year.
Watch our SaskToday video to hear Regina residents talk about the gifts that made them laugh, the ones that surprised them, and the moments that mattered most.
