Merry & Bright

After patiently opening all twenty-four tiny doors on our advent calendar, Christmas has finally arrived.   Ty is in Oregon with the Hedlunds, and I am keeping Vicky company in Seattle and spending Christmas day with my family.
 

The boats at the marina are all decked out in lights and our fellow live-aboards are full of good cheer.  Ty even surprised me one evening by stringing red, green, and white lights all along Vicky's lifelines, which I left on extra long last night.

As we celebrate this Christmas in the Pacific Northwest with our families, I can't help but wondering where and with whom we'll celebrate next Christmas.
