The post came from a neighbor named Erica LeJeune, and it explained what the early lights were for.
Lane's family had a Christmas tradition of going out to look at Christmas lights. Many people in Sabal Palms, she wrote, were going to decorate now, in October, so that Lane could keep that tradition one last time.
That was the whole plan. Not a party or a public event, just houses lit up close to home, ready for whenever the family could go out and see them.
