Maeve - Winter in NOLA


Christmas in New Orleans means…

Mr. Bingle, City Park, and

a fake ice skating rink that smells like buttered rum.

We try to be like the cities up north

with their real snow and fuzzy woodland creatures.

Well,

I have a nutria in my backyard.

And I’m pretty sure that a possum is eating my cat’s food.

Does that count?

So I guess that Christmas also means…

Rabies?

Maeve, age 17
