Christmas Eve. Cold. 9 Stayed Hard and didn’t sleep in, oh what fun!

Warm Up

Butt kickers and High Knees through the parking lots and toy soldiers up to the upper rock lot for:

• SSH x 20
• IST x 10
• Loose Pickers x 10
• Arm Circles

Go get a rock and take to the top of the bottom lot. Speakerbox, Jesus songs = 10 curl push press and 10 star jumps of Bethlehem.  Santa Songs = 10 dry docks and 10 World War II turtle doves.  Separate each rep set by running a double loop around the lot.  Show to know.

Rip our way through 40 minutes and head to

MARY

NO TIME

COT

Lord’s Prayer as well as prayer for Officer Horan’s family in G-Boro

MOLESKIN

I am not a Q repeater, but I repeat this one every year.  It’s a good time, no matter what sorts of complaints some may have.  We hit Hardee’s afterwards.  While Jesus is of course the main focus, Santa matters too.  Santa is hope, belief, youthfulness, generosity.  Certainly second fiddle to Jesus, but don’t discount the values that Saint Nick brings.  Your kids may not believe anymore, but they probably believed at some time, and that matters.

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.
