Greetings for Christmas

We had rain all of Sunday morning, which was fine because Paul was cooking Swedish meatballs and I was uploading files, though we both took a break to watch What If...? with Cheryl because it was the only time we could do it together (the Happy saves Christmas episode, with its Die Hard references, Justin Hammer reading about Science Bros, and "Thor is just a little schmoopy noodle going through the cosmos"!). Then we ate lunch and went to walk in Marymoor Park, where it was drizzly when we arrived and part of the river trail was closed due to flooding, but then the sun came out and we had a lovely view of the windmill. 

We watched the end of the Seattle victory and the start of the Dolphins win before we went to pick up Adam and visit his pets, then took him to Daniel's house, which is the only place we can currently gather due to Cahaya's cat allergies. We had brought Swedish rye bread, meatballs, mashed potatoes, dill carrots, and a bunch of different Christmas cookies -- all things Paul's mother used to make for Christmas Eve -- while Adam had made a cranberry-pecan pie. So we ate a lot, then we walked Theo and Thandi in the neighborhood near Green Lake where there were lots of houses decorated for the season. Merry Christmas if you're celebrating!
