Lost holiday decorations in Southeast Missouri

On the night of December 8, I was loading up my truck with holiday decorations after a small family gathering. A gust knocked the tailgate and my wreath and string lights tumbled onto the pavement near Cape Girardeau's Town Square around 9:00 p.m. I chased after them along Main Street toward the riverfront, but they vanished into the shadowy storefronts. The lot included a red ribbon, a woven garland, and a wreath with a small pinecone center—the kind my grandmother helped me assemble every year. It’s not just stuff; it’s a memory I want to bring back to our home.
