YHC thought it would be fun to quiz the PAX on Christmas movies.  Fun for some?  In the end, a lot of penalties for wrong answers were incurred, and the PAX said “humbug.”  We did a warm-o-rama and then proceeded with the workout details below (questions, exercises, answers)

Moleskine:

Bottom line:  It might be good to brush up on Christmas movies this holiday season.  

Right answers? 6.5 out of 16.  And Hollywood’s introspective on whether Die Hard is a Christmas movie was quite good, just not quite right.  20 burpees for the PAX trusting his intellect…

Jersey Boy’s knowledge of Elf was impressive.  

Lots of grumbling when we had to lay down in the soup and cigarette butts multiple times.

TAP for Hat Trick’s friend Dawn, Canuck’s sister, and all the Pax currently ill.

Thanks Canuck for taking us out today.

Coffeeteria at DD after for 4 pax plus Olive from water wings, which he is renaming “SOS”
