THE THANG: After a brief fellowship lap the PAX gathered around to learn the true meaning of Festivus: a non-denominational holiday filled with one sided ridicule and mindless physical tests of strength. Also, there was an aluminum pole. • The tradition of Festivus began with the Airing of Grievances:
The QIC had a lot of problems with a select few PAX, and now they were going to hear about it! The QIC barked the ways in which they had disappointed him over the past year. After each name was read, and an appropriate insult hurled, a merkin was performed collectively by the group. And now as Festivus rolls on, we come to the feats of strength.
• PAX paired up, each pair took turns carrying the Festivus pole ~100m and back while the other PAX ran alongside to make sure they didn’t drop the pole. • Remaining PAX performs the following until each team returns: o Mountain Climbers
o Soccer kicks
o Star Jumps
o Heisman Shuffle
o Bonnie Blairs
• Pull up bar – 1 round each, max effort, while remaining PAX alternated between Wall Sits and Balls to the Wall • 20 Upper Deckers, 20 Derkins, 20 Dips

MARY: Flutter Kicks, Alabama Prom Date, Nolan Ryan’s

COT: Holiday traditions are important. Whether they are quiet and enjoyable, or loud and offensive, don’t ever let anyone tell you that they’re not important. And no matter what holiday you celebrate, real, fictitious, or nothing at all….I wish all of you and your families a safe and happy December and a joyous New Year.
