Meredith - Winter in NOLA


New Orleans in Christmas time is different from others:
We may not have a white Christmas
We may not have snowmen
We may not have holiday caroling
We may not have figgy pudding,
But the Christmas cheer still roams throughout the air
With garland and lights,
With an abundance of Christmas trees,
With unnecessary snuggies, hot chocolate, and 25 days of Christmas,
With hallmark movies warming one’s heart,
With the ever-changing weather, and leafs still on the trees.

Meredith, age 17
