It may be the shortest day of the year but a warm front moved in to the District. We were up to 21 C (or 70 F) and I was stripping down to my T-shirt while biking and walking around. I met Tanya and walked around the holiday market and the Mall. We thought about a museum but it was too nice to go inside. Here's some pictures for you all.
After that I hit up Union Market and Eastern Market and delivered some Christmas cookies to friends. Of course I made Candy Cane Cookies and Sour Cream Twists!

| The scaffolding is coming down on the Washington Monument. |
 |
| It's shadow is way bigger than mine! |
 |
| Here's a panorama from the north side of the Monument. The White House is behind the trees in the middle of the picture and one of the cranes building the National Museum of African American History is on the right. |

| It was a gorgeous and sunny day! |
 |
| Proof that I was down to my T-shirt! And note that it is the Planet Money T-shirt. |
 |
| This is the Christmas tree in the park south of the White House. I think it is called the National tree while the one by the Capitol is the People's tree. But I'm not sure! There are 50 small trees for the states too. You can see a couple in the foreground. |

| I do like the Old Post Office Pavilion! |
