Happy Boxing Day! Also known as Dec. 26th and the day after Christmas. It’s a British holiday when the servants receive gifts and a day off from working on Christmas. For my entire life, I’ve always known it as another part of the holiday and time to hang with the family and maybe get some post holiday sales. For today and the F3 version of boxing day, it’s another reason to get after it and celebrate the arise.

Row blocks! 
And we closed it out with Row blocks (coupons lined up 3 feet apart and you move down the line doing alternating merkins) to put the coupons away.
Mosey back to the flag for the COT.
We took a second to recognize how impressive it is to keep showing up to F3Princeton everyday/week and to be active together. This has been a crazy year and for all of us, if this was the only consistent thing we did, then we are heading in the right direction.
Happy holidays! I hope the rest of the everyone’s holiday was great. Thanks for showing up and braving the weather to get better.
Coffeteria- Most of us met up for coffeteria after the beatdown and we completed a F3 Pollyanna gift exchange. It was a lot of fun as gloves, tripods, jump ropes and F3 gear was exchanged between the pax. Thanks for ScarU for coordinating, that should be a new tradition for F3Princeton and beyond.
