What is Christmas?
And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus.
-Luke 1:30-31
“The greatest and most momentous fact which the history of the world records is the fact of Christ’s birth.”
-Charles H. Spurgeon
Social Media tip of the day:
Don’t be a “social media junkee” and online all the time. Find balance and protect your boundaries. If you have thirty seconds to kill sitting in traffic at a red light, don’t pull out your phone because you are bored or feel like you’re missing something. You don’t have to post every single part of your life or every thought that you have. If you post the only good then you are living in a make believe world. Keep the personal part personal.
Have the wisdom to show restraint. -Proverbs 23:4

Fun Christmas Fact: “Jingle Bells” was originally a Thanksgiving song
Turns out, we were originally dashing through the snow for an entirely different holiday. James Lord Pierpont wrote a song called “One Horse Open Sleigh” for his church’s Thanksgiving concert. Then in 1857, the song was re-published under the title it still holds today, and it eventually became one of the most popular Christmas songs.
Santa today called and said:
He’s making his list and checking it twice to see who’s cherry picking the WODs! Yes, that means that he knows who looks at the blog and decides whether they are going to come or not. That’s not true CrossFitting when you skip out because you don’t enjoy some part or all of the workout. I am always impressed by those that work hard and twice as impressed by those that show up each day no matter whats on the board even when you hate some part of it (yep, that’s most of you) and for the ones that don’t look at the blog until after you have finished the WOD …well, ya’ll are true troopers that’s all I can say! Let’s crush our weakness and make it our strength.

On this day in history – December 21, 1620 – The “Mayflower”, and its passengers, pilgrims from England, landed at Plymouth Rock, MA.

Train Hard. Train Heavy. Train Smart. Have Fun.
