We’ve gotten a lot of rain lately, and while Mom LOVES rain, she’s getting nervous and antsy. You see, this is about the time of year she checks her holiday light design plan for 2024 that she drew up last April and pulls boxes of Christmas lights out from storage.
But, but, but . . . what about celebrating one holiday at a time, Mom? You’re always complaining about people jumping the gun on that.
Yes, yes, Mom poo-poos Tessa while waving a hand. Thanksgiving comes late this year leaving one less week to get strings of light tossed seemingly willy-nilly over bushes (she swears they are carefully tossed) and wrapped around tree trunks while muttering/swearing over sections of lights that worked perfectly fine in the garage and go out permanently the instant it sees the light of day.
I wouldn’t expect you to understand, Tessa. Don’t worry your pretty head over it. Rain or, well, more rain, those lights are going up out there and soon!
Worried? Not me. I wouldn’t even think of it.

Don’t worry Tessa, it will all get done!
That first pic is adorable, Tessa!
Dearest Carole and Steve,
WOW, Tessa has such a sweet face in the first photo.
The last one is typical kitty attitude—as long as I’m cozy and warm with a full belly.
Good luck with the lights.
Hugs,
Mariette + Kitties
Glad your mom is working on the lights Tessa. XO
You have to get them up at some point. Turning them on can wait for the season, but getting them in position takes time.
You look pretty relaxed about all of that, Tessa. We hope Mom finds the time, and that the lights behave this year!
