Ashley - Winter in NOLA

Who needs to make snow angels when we can make dirt angels?
Who needs to go sledding when we can just drive cars?
Who needs to go ice skating when we can rollerblade?
Who would want to miss school for a snow day when we canlearn?
Who would want to bundle up in heavy jackets when we canwear light sweaters?
I am perfectly happy with my semi-cool, barren groundChristmas.
A New Orleans Christmas is nothing like what a Christmas is “suppose”to be like,
And that is why I loveit.
