THE SCENE: Unseasonably warm!
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER: Maybe? Code Brown was in charge of that and perhaps skipped over some of it. No FNGs so we’d heard it all.
WARM-O-RAMA:
SSH IC; practice some Manmakers and a Fireman Carry. Wish Hot Tub and Gibbler well as they took off like scalded dogs to do a little marathon training tour of the Asylum. Let’s move.
THA-THANG:
4 volunteers strap in the harness to pull the Yule Log to Circus Maximus. We use a rotation of volunteers to pull the Yule Log a half lap around at a time, at each stop, we celebrate the Days of Christmas cumulatively as follows:
- Day 1: Manmaker;
- Day 2: Iron Mikes, 4 count
- Day 3: Jump Squats;
- Day 4: Smurf Jacks;
- Fiiiivvveee Buuurrrrpppeeeeeees!
- Day 6: Hello Dollys (4 ct, IC)- led by Carney;
- Day 7: Merkins (4 ct, IC)- Led by Code Brown;
- Day 8: Mountain Climbers (4 ct, IC)- led by Double Wide;
- Day 9: American Hammers (4 ct, IC)- led by Rainbow;
- Day 10: Big Boy Sit-ups (IC)- led by Honeydew;
- Day 11: Carolina Dry Docks (4 ct, IC) – led by Pom Pom;
- Day 12: Partner up and Fireman Carry twelve steps each.
- Mosey back to AO (with Yule Log in tow)
Bunny takes over and whips us like mules up Baby Everest. Our distance runners rejoined the PAX and took a turn pulling the Yule Log up. Manmakers at the top: Rinse and repeat.
MARY:
Somebody put Cat Gut in charge for a brutal 5 minutes of Boat/Canoe.
COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Christmas isn’t about bright presents in flashy wrapping. God’s ultimate gift of love and grace through his Son came in very humble wrapping. With that in mind, we should be able to celebrate Christmas in any situation. Also, this day in history: The counter-offensive known as the Battle of the Bulge began in the Ardennes Forest. Those involved certainly spent Christmas without anything fancy or shiny.
MOLESKIN:
Prayers for Pinto and his family and Junk, Junk’s wife, and their family.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Second F gathering at Tank’s house on Jan 3. M’s are invited.
