We Wish You a Merry Christmas
Milena Alexander didn’t know how she was going to deal with Christmas again. She sat in the bustling coffee shop at a tiny table by herself, sipping a skinny latte with rice milk sprinkled with cinnamon and nutmeg. She’d added too much cinnamon. It almost made her sneeze.
The woman at the next table had two squirming children, one young enough to have a diaper top poking out the top of her pants. The other not much older. The woman was texting on her phone oblivious to her two kids arguing over a teddy bear and sipping their drinks; hot chocolate from the look of the rings around their mouths.
The sound system blared the latest version of ‘We Wish You a Merry Christmas’, sung by some pop star whose voice was familiar, but she couldn’t put a name or face to. Milena was tired of hearing Christmas music. It had been nearly a month since work had started playing them. Every single day, every single minute. She could hardly wait till January.
The coffee shop was filled with people carrying huge bags of Christmas presents. All the nearby stores were having sales. Milena had thought that coming here might cheer her up, get her into the spirit of things. All she could do was look at everyone who had money to buy gifts and be content with her splurge of a latte. Christmas was miserable when there was no one to share it with. She didn’t even have enough money to buy herself out of a funk.
Christmas used to be magical for her. When had that ended? Why had she lost that?
She didn’t have to think hard about that. She’d lost the magic when Mom and Dad died on Christmas Eve.
