The entire meaning of the day is lost in a commercialized crazed capitalistic 30 day long shopping binge. Makes me a little sick, and my wife and her entire family is part of this and I am subject to paying for all of this.

it sounds like this has alot less to do with Christmas and more to do with your scrooge of a family... I mean honestly I could by my parents $5 yankee candles each and they would be just as happy. There is just so much to be happy for on the holiday to have everyone home and eating under 1 roof that the gifts just don't matter.

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?

If someone says they dont know what they want, or to not get them anything. Dont get them anything, that doesnt seem too hard to me.

I know when i say dont get me anything, I mean it.

Sure, your presence is enough of a gift, when you walk in the door, wear a sticky bow thing and one of those t: and from: tags, and put to: my family from: santa. And there you have it.

Excellent... I like it.. bring my new family into my other one wearing Bows and tags.. maybe make the dog a wrapping paper dog coat or something.. I like it... but i think i should at least bring in some beverages... or something small.. ahhhhh maybe make it a blockbuster night or something...

Bring a bottle of sparkling cider, and a bottle of tosti asti, should cost you less than $20.

 

[marineeagle28 10+ year member]

hmm i come from a family of non drinkers/ non alcoholic wine/beer drinkers, not sure what tosti asti is.. i still like have a come and a smile and STFU..

well i for one think that jesus deserves to have his birthday celebrated worldwide.

we should crucify all church goers(sp?) in his honor.

 

[marineeagle28 10+ year member]

haha thats funny.. but crucifixtion(sp?) shouldnt happen until easter.. which brings me to another point... WHAT THE HELL does an egg laying bunny that leaves candy everywhere have to do with the ressurection of Christ?

obviously the ressurection of christ wasn't exciting enough, so they had to come up with some ploy(when i say they, i mean the religous) to entice the non-believers(or even the believers but no practicing) to follow along in this celebratory(sp?) holiday

 

[marineeagle28 10+ year member]

was i t the religious or was it just another market strategy to make ends meet by capitalistic know-it-alls?

I don't see what everyone is blaming capitalism for ruining christmas. I think you should chose a better word. Are you suggesting if we practiced socialism or communism, Christmas would be better? Because either we had no money to buy gifts or there are no gifts available for purchase. I guess that would be better. ...:scratches head:

I purchase what I purchase. I am not requried to give any gifts. I do not exchange gifts with my friends and me and my little brother wrap up a $20 bill in a box and exchange that.

So that narrows down to 3 gifts...my mom, dad, and gf. The GF is a choice...I knew when I asked her out I would be on the hook for birthday and christmas presents, so it's no big deal. Buy my mom a bluetooth headset and some BS for my dad and I am good. And will spend less than $300.

Gotta program the little kids into religon somehow.

I think im off the hook with the GF though, her job has been screw'n her around and she really doesnt have the money to buy me anything for xmas, so she cried last night and told me to take back all her gifts that are under the tree. I dunno what to do now //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

if jesus died at birth we wouldn't have to deal with it at all.

 

[marineeagle28 10+ year member]

But seriously what does a gift exchange have to do with the meaning of the holiday?

The thing that really made me mad this year was they had Christmas stuff before muthafukkin Haloween. I really hate Christmas just because of all the spending but it just irratated me because of my daughter. Wtf happened to thanks giving? I remember putting the turkey out front and the maze and **** like that but none of that is done anymore. I would rather have my daughter understand the meaning of Thanksgiving and Christmas, the realy meanin. Other than we just eat a meal and get presents at Christmas.

Thanksgiving isnt a money making holiday //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

well, at least beyond turkey sales at the stores....
