A resolution of sorts

After stewing about the Christmas situation all day, I called my sister tonight and flat out told her that I was hurt and dismayed to have been excluded from what should have been a family discussion/decision.  She apologized, but I'm not sure she really gets just how upsetting that was.  My family has always been close, so I suppose that's why I am so baffled and bewildered and hurt to be left out like that.  I guess I'm also angry that neither of my brothers spoke up on my behalf and said, 'hey, we need to include everyone'. 

This has really taken some of the luster of Christmas away for me.  I know that sounds childish, and I also know I'll get over it eventually, but right now?  Yeah, still hurt.  Thanks for all your kind, understanding words, everyone.

Finally, if the LJ server move ends up in more down time than they anticipate and I cannot meet my NaBlo commitment for the 19th, heads will roll!
