COT: YHC carried on from 2 percent and Festivus message sharing family tradition of reading ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas. Tradition started by YHC’s mother and carried on through generations.

Shared also that there are times when traditions may change, go dormant, shift, etc. YHC shared example of mother who was intensive care nurse and often worked on Christmas. She found joy in making small knitted and quilted gifts and giving them to the patients who were not with their families on Christmas. She shared with YHC that the antidote to loneliness can be serving others.

YHC wished the PAX a Merry Christmas to those who celebrate and warm holiday wishes to all……and to all a good night!

THE THANG: After a brief fellowship lap around the track the PAX gathered around in a circle on the sports ball fields 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 burpee was performed collectively by the group. And now as Festivus rolls on, we come to the feats of strength.
• 50 yard line – pair up, 1 PAX carries the Festivus pole to the goal line and back while the other PAX does a high knee skip. Switch exercises at the goal line. • Remaining PAX performs the following until each team returns: o Mountain Climbers
o Star Jumps
o LBC’s
o Heisman Shuffle
o Bonnie Blairs
• Mosey’d to the parking lot for some Flying Dutchmen, forward then reverse • Mosey’d to the Ampitheater for 20 Upper Deckers, 20 Merkins, 20 Dips
• Back to the field for the Ring of Festivus Fire – each PAX performs 5 goblet squats with the pole whilst the remaining PAX hold plank
• 2nd Ring of Festivus Fire which was a terrible idea – 5 goblet squats then bear crawl around the circle while remaining PAX held Al Gore

MARY: Flutter Kicks, Alabama Prom Dates, Box Cutters, J-Lo’s, Nolan Ryan’s

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Horizon 12/25 workout, the ARC, AMBAB

COT: Traditions are important, no matter how silly or insulting they can be. Whichever 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.
