∇ Does anyone remember the Mannequin Challenge of 2016? For your viewing pleasure, I present to you, What the Nails* Do on Christmas Eve:

∇ Believe it or not, I’ve never made Christmas Crack before until now! I found this recipe by Amy Hannon and used it as my foundation. I also added this, this, & this.

∇ When I was prepping food for Christmas (specifically, the four quiches I made with varying degrees of meat, gluten, and dairy) this is the podcast series I listened to: Heavyweight Season 4. Favorite episodes? #27 and #30.

∇ I’ve played two new {to me} games this week that were surprisingly fun in vastly different ways: this board game and this active competition of bizarre coordination: instructions and visual guide!

Happy Christmas week to you! What have you been making, playing, doing?

The men and the children could watch themselves for most of the day, leaving us free to wander the St. Louis Art Museum without a care in the world, have lunch at the museum restaurant because that is what sophisticated ladies do, then end our day with an outdoor performance of Romeo & Juliet at Shakespeare in the Park {to be rejoined with our families at that time because it couldn’t be helped}.
