(S5) - PT 2 - Holiday Cheer

[RedCydranth]

Marc Spector has no religious background and is a stern disbeliever in any single deity. His studies abroad lead him to believe that if there is any deity, it is one that wishes to remain anonymous from humanity. Therefor, Christmas, Hannukah and the rest of the religious practices that take place during this season hold very little moral value to him. He does however participate in the spirit of togetherness and gift giving because his lovely girlfriend, Marlene Alraune was raised Episcopalian and still adheres to her beliefs. The two had a nice ham dinner on Christmas Eve and exchanged presents at midnight. Marc gave Marlene a top designer trench coat, one that she's wanted for some time. Marlene got Marc a relic from early America, a compass that was said to belong to Amerigo Vespucci. Marc, being a specialist in fine antiquities dated the artifact to be era correct, but the assertion it belonged to the famed mapmaker and navigator would be harder to determine. After sleeping in, the couple went to the airport where Marc took his private jet and they took off to Madagascar so that they could study the Austronesian and Bantu remains. All in all, a fine Christmas.
