19 pain-hungry Pax posted to Padre’s House of Pain for a 12 Days of Christmas revival.  Yes, last year’s workout at WEP generated a bit of buzz that CSPAN chose to reignite as we turn toward the final week of Advent.  A big thank you to CSPAN and Padre for inviting YHC out for the pleasure of leading once again.

The Thang

Warm up run around the church with some karaoke and backward running thrown in

COP — SSH, Mountain climbers, Seal jacks, Burpees OYO

Mosey to the back of church and let the carol begin (in words of Buddy the Elf, “The best way to spread Christmas cheer is to sing out loud for all to hear”)

1 bomb jack and a burpee
2 wide arm merkins
3 diamond merkins
4 regular merkins
5 sumo squats
6 hello dollies
7 rosalitas
8 morrocan night clubs
9 monkey humpers
10 frogs a leaping
11 mountain climbers
12 parker peters

Between each round, the pax bear crawled across the lawn up the hill, ran back across and lunge walked back to the middle for the following round

6MoM – Freddie Mercurys, Gravediggers, LBCs, Russian Twists, plank sequence with a CSPAN “Silent Night” rendition

Mosey to parking lot for suicides  and a final plank sequence with Burgundy’s “Holly Jolly Christmas” rendition

No awards to be handed out for singing this year.  A tip of the hat to CSPAN for his caroling effort and a recommendation for singing lessons for our bashful man, Burgundy (aka Athlete of the Week).  Plus, t-claps to Twister whose zeal for the affair may have been fueled by an early dose of egg nog.

A hearty welcome to 2 FNGs who were brave to venture out into this unforeseen madness – Tinker Toy and Aqualung.  Look forward to seeing you in the gloom again soon!

Another recap of YHC’s seasonal message around Santini’s theme on #HIM from Saturday at WEP.  As you celebrate the #HIM at the center of Christmas, take note of the other #HIM playing supporting roles, namely numerous prophets over hundreds of years, Joseph, shepherds and wise men.  They show up in the story as #HIM because they did two things: first, they listened for guidance and direction and second, they mustered the courage to overcome their fear and act in the way they were called.  Brothers, let’s all commit this season and in the new year to follow those #HIM examples of careful listening and courage.

Merry Christmas!
