Greetings from Everett

Saturday was a gorgeous day, a bit foggy in the morning while Paul was making Swedish rye bread for Christmas Eve and I was trying to straighten out a post office issue while half-watching the Camellia Bowl. Then we ate lunch, went to a couple of local parks so I could do a couple of Wyrdeer raids, and drove to Everett, where we went to see the Funko HQ holiday stuff (the Star Wars and Marvel sections were closed for remodeling, but a lot of the actual Pops were on a big sale), then walked to the center of town to see the Christmas lights. 

Since we were in the area, we then drove to the Evergreen Arboretum, which has many of its trees lit up and a display of gnomes; it's not a very large garden but it's free and there's lots of gorgeous color. We stopped to see the waterfront and thought about driving to Tulalip Casino to see their lights, but the traffic was terrible, so we came home for dinner, watched What If...? (Corey Hart! "Van Halen"! Howard Stark dad jokes! Peggy and Wendy!) and now we're watching The Return of the King extended edition with Eowyn and the Rohirrim being awesome.
