Many years ago when I was (17) young and foolish I joined the Military.
I spent 25 years 7 months and 14 days in the service.
During that time I spent 5 Christmases and 4 New years at home.
Now there are only the wife and I here and Christmas is still a Bah-Humbug time of year for me.
Old Uncle Sugar always seemed to send me one one of his all expense paid tours of the far east about that time or I was in training somewhere and could not be spared to go home to spend Christmas with the wife and kids.Has a tendancy to kill any spirit or feeling for the time!!
To those of you that have had a family life with wife and children I wish you a merry Christmas .
For me It will just be another day of beer , the old lady, and TV
