This year, my uncle was not able to attend Christmas at our house, so I decided to take Christmas to him! He lives in a wonderful facility in Silverdale that overlooks the inlet from Puget Sound--there is a view of the water from every window in his apartment. Christmas has been difficult for him the last two years since my aunt passed away, so this year, I tried to think of a way to celebrate that would make him happy.
The ferry ride from Edmonds to Kingston was so much fun, and the weather last Sunday was sunny and clear blue skies, an unusual forecast for this time of year. I picked my uncle up and took him to the restaurant of his choice, and we got caught up on all of his news and mine. We went back to his place and exchanged gifts, which helped me to get into the Christmas spirit a little early!
On the trip home, the sun was slowly setting into evening, and the full moon dominated the late afternoon sky. The ferry ride back was just as much fun as the one earlier in the day, and I returned home refreshed and glad that I had made the trip. Only four more days until Christmas!
