Paul woke up not feeling well, which he attributes to eating too much Christmas cookie batter the night before, so we had a quiet morning. He felt a little better in the afternoon, so we went to Carderock to walk along the canal and see the herons, ducks, and geese, then we stopped at the Bethesda Co-op to get a couple of ingredients he needed to make Swedish food for his parents though he wasn't much in the mood for cooking and took a nap before dinner, which we had at my parents' (Greek food from Trapezaria).
When we got home, Paul put things in to bake and we watched the holiday episode of Fantasy Island, which is straightforwardly cheesy in that one woman's fantasy is to live out a Hallmark Christmas movie (her real-life boyfriend interrupts and of course it all ends well) while Elena discovers that her ex is playing the love interest in said Hallmark fantasy. We also watched one of this week's two Station Eleven episodes -- much darker. I will post canal pics soon but for Christmas Eve, here are some of the local decorations:
