The forest is quiet… until you arrive. Six enchanted ornaments lie hidden in the snow, each powered by a different kind of movement magic. To claim one, you must complete its challenge. Once you succeed, your ornament will appear on the great DAREBEE Tree - glowing with your effort, dedication, and a little holiday magic.

Choose the ornament that calls to you:
the Immortal Rose, the Spellbook of Strength, the Bag of Endless Gold, the Golden Apple of Agility, the Dragon Crystal, or the Magic Sword.
One ornament. One quest. One mark on the tree. Let the decorating begin!



EVENT RULES

1. Choose ONE ornament.
You may only claim a single ornament during the event.

2. Complete all required reps for that ornament.
Each ornament has its own rep requirement (squats, punches, push-ups, etc.).
You must finish the full total to claim it.

3. All reps from ANY workout or challenge count.
If the movement is the same (e.g. squats in your program, arm circles in warm-ups), it counts toward your total.

4. Only reps done during the event period count.
Past workouts do not apply.

5. Finish before the deadline.
All required reps must be completed on or before December 16th.

6. Post your completion in this thread.
When you finish, reply with: the ornament you chose, the number of reps completed and your final confirmation message. This registers your claim.


ORNAMENTS

Spellbook - 500 Squats

A relic from the ancient libraries of the High Forest, this spellbook hums with dormant power. Its pages whisper only to those with unwavering resolve. Complete the squats and the book opens for you - binding your name in golden ink among the legends who proved their strength.

Golden Apple - 2,000 Arm Circles

Grown in the orchards of the gods, this apple glows with a warm, steady light. It rewards patience, consistency, and graceful effort. Only those who can keep the rhythm - round after round - earn the apple’s blessing of agility and endurance.

Dragon Crystal - 500 Push-Ups / any type

Guarded fiercely by a young fire drake, this frozen shard holds ancient dragon magic. To earn it, you must show mastery over your own body - steady, controlled, powerful. The dragon yields the crystal only to those who display true strength under pressure.

Immortal Rose - 2,000 Jacks / any type

Protected under a glass dome, this rose never wilts. It thrives on the energy of movement, blooming brighter with every heartbeat. Complete the jacks, and the rose recognizes you as a keeper of vitality - a bearer of ever-renewing spirit.

Bag of Gold - 2,000 Punches

A seemingly ordinary pouch, yet endlessly full… but only for those who earn it. Every punch adds a spark to the bag’s magic. Fill it with your power, and it rewards you with a burst of festive fortune and unshakeable determination.

Magic Sword - 500 Kicks / any type

Forged in winter starlight and tempered in enchanted snow, this blade chooses warriors of precision and control. Each kick sharpens its edge. Complete the full count, and the sword’s ribbon binds itself to you - a mark of courage and discipline.






Getting on the Tree

Once you post your completed reps, your ornament will be added to the tree within 12–24 hours.
If 24 hours pass and you don’t see your name on the tree, tag @neilarey for the quickest correction.

Alright, finished the last half of the kicks, one Magic Sword please? :happy:

Last 250 were:
  • 50 low side kicks, balanced (25/25)
  • 50 front kicks (25/25)
  • 50 hook kicks (25/25) - there's just something satisfying about this variation (alongside hook punches) :love:
  • 50 double side kicks (low+mid; 25/25) - that batch winded me real good, esp after rest of today's WO :phew:

"Getting back into it"
I did it.
It's funny how my head and body went from "Nah, I don't feel like doing any of this shit" to "OK, just one for the tree" to "Fuck it, I'll complete all exercises in less than 24 hours".
Honestly, I was most afraid of the squats, which then turned out to somehow "do themselves". On the other hand the jumping jacks (which are among my favourite exercises) turned out really grindy (is that a word?)
Whatever...long story short: 2.000 jacks for a rose on the tree for me please
 
Not sure what happened to my last post here, from yesterday. Not seeing it now. Anyway, going for the Dragon Crystal. Did 100 pushups yesterday. Today my workout alone, (Extreme Burn) resulted in 339 total, during the five sets. So that's 439 so far. Almost there already!
Okay operator error. I found my first post from yesterday. I couldn't figure out how to view more posts. I'm technologically challenged! lol

Choosing an ornament is all about strategy, preparing your best moves for ducking/defending/throwing snowballs.

Just did a other 100 squats today, perhaps with more to come in the evening! At 200 so far and optimistic!
 
Okay! 500 pushups for the Dragon Crystal, Confirmed! I did 100 the day before yesterday (outside if my workout). Yesterday, I did 339 total, during the five sets of the "Extreme Burn" workout that I completed. (This workout calls for a lot of push-ups. Talk about push-ups till failure! Whew! I hit failure before the 10 seconds were up each time, during the last couple sets. lol). Today I did seven sets of "Sweat & Glory", which involved 28 Burpees all together, with one pushup per Burpee, bringing the tally up to 467. I just now polished off the last 33.
