Elizabeth - Winter in NOLA


As the holidays are drawing near
Everyone is filled with joy and cheer
Snowflakes, light, decorations
Woohooo the Christmas season is sweeping the nation
The streets of the city are filled with the holiday spirits
You can hear carols, bells, and laughter
The delicious food in the city does not stop at the holiday season
It just gets better
Friends and family are smiling and having a great time just being together
Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year

Elizabeth, age 16
