Lost: Holiday decorations in Deep East Texas

I was decorating the front yard at my house on Main Street in Center, Deep East Texas, around 5:15 p.m. on Tuesday when I realized my holiday decorations had vanished from a red plaid tote. Inside were garlands, a small wooden nativity scene, and a string of warm white bulbs that I’d carefully stored after last year’s storms. The tote carries a pine scent and a couple of faded snowflake stickers. Those decorations were sentimental; they belonged to my grandmother and bring back family Christmas memories. If anyone saw a tote near the courthouse square in Center, please keep an eye out for it.
