December 24

It is Christmas Eve – so I had good photos to choose from including photos from exchanging gifts this evening and the trip to the Fish Guy where everyone was dressed for Christmas. But I couldn't resist a little Chrismas Eve activism. Starbucks workers have been striking a number of store all over the country for the past few days, including the one nearest us. We had driven by a couple of times and used our horn to show support. Today when we got home after driving by, I took my camera to get a few photos.
