Christmas without the merry.

Jon and I had a wonderful meal with my parents, short in duration because of the monkey on our back (when we arrived and when the load was due the next day in PHX). However, today is Christmas Eve. I was forced to endure many minutes of very bad Christmas music played over the bluetooth while waiting on hold. We were supposed to pick up produce in Yuma. We have a list of items. The shipper states no it is less. Now we wait for someone to email someone and get confirmation before we depart. Two plus hours still waiting. Paula, Jean and Matthew home and possibly even Charlie when it comes to Christmas dinner. Jesse in Chicago and Christopher living at a neighbors. Yes I know the reason for the season, the reminder of the birth of our Savior. Grateful for the season and the blessings throughout the year, but that does not bring merry. That does not bring personal cheer. Yes I know there are many who will do with so much less than me. But is it wrong to feel sad?

Observed great colors in the sunset tonight. Need to buy a new camera to share the beauty God shares with me.
