Im Active Duty Marine Corps, I Enjoy the meaning of the holiday, but not so much the commercialized capitalistic front that boosts fourth quarter sales across all retail markets. My Parents and younger sibling have been no help as to what they would like as a gift/small token of my appreciation for staying the hell out of my hair. MY wife, also has been no help at all. Her family is not big into the gift giving scene. My family is(kinda). In all honesty im debating just taking myself, my better half, and our dog home for christmas and handing them each a coke and telling them to smile and shut the fawk up. Im home for a holiday and i rarely ever visit. Wouldnt my presence in the nest for the holiday be enough of a gift anyways?
