Preamble:

In the spirit of that other December Holiday......Festivus, we gathered around the un-adorned CMU blocks for feats of strength and airing of grievances.   There was plenty of both.

Warm-O-Rama:

The usual fair, but I will never put side-straddle-hop in the warm-o-rama when I have the Q.

The Thang:

In pairs we went around the track twice. First lap, mode of transportation was the bear crawl Second lap, mode of transportation was the walking lunge Partner one began his MOT around the track, partner two performed 10 thrusters with his CMU block then he had to pick up his partner's block and carry both to where partner one happened to be.  Once they met, both partners had to make the handoff which consisted of five high five merkins over the blocks, then they swapped roles. We got back to the flag with a minute to spare so we circled our blocks and did hands in merkins until time expired.

COT:

We've got one pax whose father is about to have surgery, so we prayed for him.  We also prayed for and remembered those families who lost loved ones during the past year and for whom this will be the first Christmas without a loved one.   There was a young man who did track and cross country with my children who passed away in February and knowing that this will be his family's first Christmas without him...... it's going to be difficult.

Naked-Man Moleskin:

We managed to assign leaders for our Christmas eve and New Year's Eve CSAUP events.
