Christmas 2019
The last time we had a family Christmas at our house. How the girls have changed; how we've all changed in two years. I just have to look in the cruel morning mirror. Ha!
We collectively gave up so much to improve things, only to see them get worse again. It's no wonder people are giving up-- traveling, socializing, gathering in crowds.
Yesterday I delivered cookies to a friend in the University District, and the 7-mile trip took a full hour each way. Not just gridlock traffic to contend with, but angry and aggressive drivers, dystopian scenes of trash and homeless camps along the freeway, beggars at intersections. Poor Seattle. What will 2022 bring?
OK, got that off my chest. On to more pleasant subjects. A final trip to the grocery store early this morning, then get the downstairs set up for company again after a long absence. We're still thinking positive Amanda and family will make it over tomorrow, although travel through the mountains looks pretty dicey. We're fine with whatever they decide.
Enjoy your last minute Christmas preparations-- anticipation is often the best part of the holiday.
