Anonymous - Winter in NOLA


New Orleans is indescribable, Christmas Time is unimaginable. Think of the happiest time of your life, now picture it 10x better- this is the feeling that a New Orleanean gets around this time of year. The weather is perfect, the people are so jolly, and the city is so bright- what else could be better? Nothing. Everything is perfect and we need to be thankful for this at this time.
