Birth Place

As a teenager, Christmas developed this rebellious streak where she started defying expectations that society had of her. She would often sneak away from home and get into parties in search of a good time. More often than not she would get into trouble for that. After enduring a life-threatening accident at 13, Christmas really went all the way into leading a disastrous life of incessant drinking, smoking and even doing heavy drugs.

The Meteoric Rise to Stardom

At 18, after barely graduating High School, Christmas tried to enroll into the Army but got rejected. She confessed later that she was in really bad shape and could barely run a mile without collapsing. She joined the US base at Iraq as an independent civilian laundry attendant at 22 and this is when her life changed forever. It is at the army base that she realized the value of human life and how she was wasting away her own. She was introduced to fitness training by one of her fellow soldiers and did not look back since. She quit smoking and started following a strict and disciplined fitness regime. She came across the CrossFit regime when a fellow soldier showed her a video of women taking on intensive challenges. Competitive by nature, Christmas was instantly drawn to it and she started achieving one milestone after the other until she destroyed every milestone in the renowned CrossFit Challenge.

She came back to the US after four years in Iraq and started her own CrossFit coaching class in Raleigh. In 2010, she opened her own gym, CrossFit Evoke and focused on developing her own brand. Her success in CrossFit led her to take up competitive Weightlifting and within a short period of time she has secured national ranking and is eyeing competing at the next Olympics.

She also paved way for more girl-power when she was invited to become the first female Pit Crew member in the famed NASCAR in 2013. That was a monumental feat considering the profession till then was entirely male-dominated and testosterone-ruled. Since then she has continued doing what she loves best, working out, getting tattoos, breaking the glass ceiling of female stereotypes.

She has graced the front covers of many famous publications like Sports Illustrated and Harper Collins flaunting her chiseled body and ‘Badass’ persona. She has penned down all her tips and tricks on getting into shape and achieving that desirable body in her first book titled ‘The Badass Body Diet: The Breakthrough Diet and Workout for a Tight Booty, Sexy Abs, and Lean Legs’ in May, 2015.

The Meteoric Rise to Stardom

By the time she hit 30, Christmas had developed a ripped body that will put any serious male powerlifter to shame. Her sculpted quads, biceps and rock-hard six-pack ab is the result of immense hard work and a can-do attitude that is surely not common.Her perseverance and single-minded approach to achieving her goal is something that is one of the many truly inspirational things about her. Another positive impact point that Christmas upholds is talking about her past with a commendable frankness.

It is not easy owning up about one’s sordid past, especially when one has reached the peaks of success. But Christmas has never shied away from her past as a rebellious and self-destructive teenager. On the contrary, she has embraced it as an inseparable part of who she is, setting it off as an example to tell the world that it is never too late to turn your life around the right way. Why be moody when you can shake yo booty? ??@secondskingear A post shared by Christmas : Badass Body Life (@christmasabbott) on Jun 25, 2017 at 11:26am PDT

When Christmas was 13, she experienced a horrific car accident where her sister Kole was grievously injured and went into a coma. Kole eventually recovered but the incident left a deep impact on Christmas’ mind and it drove her into even more rebellious mode. Christmas got engaged to Geoff Kercher on October 10, 2015 and the couple plan to get married on September 3, 2017 in Raleigh, North Carolina. Christmas was previously in a relationship with and subsequently engaged to photographer Josh Holmes till 2014 but they split up before their trip down the aisle. FriYAY boogie?
