Chapter 4
Bette stood with her hands on her hips glaring at the crates that sat before her. Each crate was labeled, in detail, with the exact contents inside. Yet, despite having a clear inventory of decorations, Bette was unsure how to proceed.
“Lights are always a good place to start,” Alice chimed in as if reading her friend’s mind.
“Remind me again how we got paired together for this activity?”
“Because Donna wants some one-on-one time with Button.” Bette couldn’t help but to smile at Alice’s use of Tina’s nickname. “We’re a good team!”
“What is everyone else doing?”
“Preparing for what I believe will be the bakeoff of the century,” Alice chuckled. “Did you see all the ingredients?”
Alice bent down and used a hammer to pry open the first crate.
“I’m not seeing what I think I am seeing,” Bette said as she closed her eyes in fear. “Please tell me that wasn’t…”
“A ball of tangled lights bigger than the Blob?”
“Exactly,” Bette said, sneaking a peak through opening one eye.
“I’ll could tell you that, but I’d be lying, and we’d still have to unravel these things.”
Alice threw a large ball of tangled lights in Bette’s direction, laughing as her friend’s quick reflexes saved her from being hit.
“Where are we supposed to put these?”
“On the house,” James answered carrying the ladder. “I brought the ladder out for us to use.”
“Us?”
“Every decorating phase has a Kennard supervising,” James informed them with a small smirk. “I get outside lights.”
“Why is that?”
“Because I put the lights away last year,” James continued. “And Mom said, based on how I put them away, my punishment would be to be assigned to it again this year.”
“So you’re the one to thank,” Alice said as she nudged James with her elbow.
“Let’s get started,” Bette said removing a large plastic Santa from the crate. “Where does this go?”
“Near the front porch,” James pointed. “Just set it up and we’ll plug everything in when we’re done so we know where to put the extension cords.”
“I’ll do the lights!” Alice volunteered as she ran up the ladder, eager to begin her task. “Hand me a big ball.”

I like that last comment from another story right? If not ignore this comment. Meanwhile Lu and I are going to do our Christmas shopping, you can say we are finally coming up for air, she is an animal, good thing I have all this energy for her. Give my regards to Sally.
OMG….I thought of your story tonight as the family decorated Christmas cookies and we put on Christmas Vacation. Your story is cracking my just as much as that damn movie. Maybe you should have Bette kick the crap out of a plastic Santa and reindeer. Thank you for this story. pps
There is so much to love about this story and chapter….but the last wolves comment….Priceless
Great post!! This is so funny. PPS
yes, wolves would be easier as far as decorations but maybe you should read spumoni’s story LOL great update, it totally put me into christmas spirit, especially since i have to work the whole time
lol…too funy
nice update there will Bette see why the lights aint working?ihope she sorts it
really love this! its one of those fuzzy wuzzy stories :) can’t wait for the next chapter!
Love this story and that last page was a corker. So funny. Someone asked why Tina is so sad, I think it is because Bette initially did not want to be there and that has colored the entire trip. And to have brought the gang to Carolina was not something she wanted to do. The wolf comment was hilarious. PPS
Sound like my house,we started in Nov.We have a full size mangrt with sheeps camel and the donkey wise men sheep/ a12 ft sled that 4 can set in also all the reindeers. 199 little snowmen to put around the sidewalk with lights, 8″ snow man and a full size[for little children can go into 3″ elvies abd lots of large candy canes. So yes my laye husband and I maded them all her cut I painted. This will be my last yr as I will past it on to G/G kids. So I do feel sorry for bette. what is wrong with Tina Tina Mom is something else and Our Dana oh how we loved her. Have a wonderful Holiday and New Year thanks

This reminds me why Dana is so missed. Absolutely hilarious, Gumby! Poor Bette will need more than spiked eggnog to make it through the Kennard family Christmas. I can’t wait for the presents…especially since Donna went “all out”! I’m envisioning a Christmas sweater embroidered with “If it doesn’t taste good, spit it out”.
Poor Bette all that work and no lights. Whats up with Tina? So Love your writting. Thank you Gumby
why was/is Tina sad?? PPS!!!
OK so I’m waiting for someone to enter a room and flip the magic switch for the lights to come on! lol Christmas at the kennards sounds just as intense as they are at my house. PPS
LOL – Amazing story. Pure Bette – so many lights to check – ROLF.
