Courtney - There's a Feeling in the Air...

there's a feeling in the air
that its winter time
that the cooking begins
that the lights go up
that Christmas in the oaks opens
the presents will be unwrapped
that families will gather
that coats will be worn
that toes will be cold
that its winter time
in New Orleans

Courtney, age 16
