Happy Christmas! Today in Bellevue it snowed, briefly, just enough to give the forest outside our windows a dusting of white.
This is my first Christmas in Washington, and it has been just lovely. Last night I went out to dinner. After we finished, we got out just in time to see the show in downtown Bellevue where they play holiday music, have a light show, and a drum core dressed as toy soldiers comes out and plays to the music. It was like Disneyland, without the scary 8 foot mouse! I then went and saw Atonement, which was fantastic, if a little on the sad side for xmas eve.
Today I am simply staying at home, relaxing by the fireplace, and watching the snow melt. It is a perfect holiday. I'll be doing a little knitting, of course, and some eating, and I will be making a yummy dinner later tonight of chicken with mushrooms, garlic and olive oil accompanied by baby broccoli and creamy polenta. Mmmmm! And I even have a little bubbly that I may bust out!
Happy Holidays!!!
