Chelsea - Winter in NOLA


You know it's Christmas when

you go anywhere and hear it's Christmas time in new Orleans

Canal st is all decorated

You go into the Roosevelt hotel and it is a winterwonderland

You see the carolers on st Charles

They light the christmas tree in the French quarter

That's when you know it's Christmas
