Ciara - Winter in NOLA


The feeling of the holidays is in the air
Not just any holiday, it’s Christmas here
Christmas in New Orleans brings joy to all
They come from here and there to obtain the joy
In this Christmas in New Orleans air
Yes, it’s Christmas here and it’s Christmas there
But there is nothing like Christmas in New Orleans
There’s music, there’s food, and Santa Clauses too

Ciara, age 16
