christmas cards & cookies

i am really excited about christmas this year! i am sort of considering hosting a potluck and / or christmas dinner.

on saturday i made christmas cards! out of scrap paper and pens and mod podge. they took me so long and i only made seven, i am out of practise.



on saturday night it was time to trade SECRET SANTA names so i baked jumbo peanut butter oatmeal cookies from isa chandra moskowitz's vegan with a vengeance. i have baked them a couple of times before but somehow i managed to burn half of them anyway. they still tasted pretty good.



in addition to the usual secret santa trade, we have also initiated the inaugural SHITTY SANTA trade. i am so psyched for this.

circular soccer
on sunday i was busy all day with sunday sports, and then i finally sat down with my guitar and was about to have a strum when mark called; we were going to see a film. i had misjudged the time required.

although... i did invent a game called 'circular soccer.' basically you have one goal manned by one neutral goalie, which can be approached either from north or south depending on what team you are on. ben and moriarty don't think it would work. magda and i think it would be amazing.

so i was thinking about circular soccer and how it might work when i came up with a potentially even better game called 'quad soccer.' you need a few people to play it, though. there are four teams. you set four goal posts up in a square, and each team approaches the goals from a different angle. i doubt you even need an official goalie.

basically it is just a complete clusterfuck, which is how i like sport to be.

so i guess i cheated a bit on sunday.
