Usually when you plug in the string of lights to the Christmas tree, a magical thing happens. Light from top to bottom and it's beautiful. Hunter looks forward to plugging in the tree every single night. I think he is going to be so sad the day we have to take the tree down.
Tonight, was normal as always. We got home from the Y, Hunter ran outside to plug in the lights out there and flipped the switch for the icicle lights. Next, the tree. He plugged in the cord and what is usually voila! it was nothing. He tried again. Nothing. Tears started to flow. I was confused. I went to check it out.
Sweet. The cat chewed the cord. Seriously, Lucky? I'm not impressed. 1. Now we have no lights. Until tomorrow. I will go to Target, get another string and take off the bottom string and bottom ornaments and put on the new string and redecorate the bottom of the tree. Kind of a minor inconvenience. 2. That magic of Christmas is gone for tonight. Ok, not really, but it seems dark in our house. 3. What if a fire would have started? I don't know if that's possible, but what if. 4. I kind of am impressed that she was able to chew thru the cord.
So for tonight, we have no lights. But hopefully by tomorrow, we will be back in business.
