Rachel - Winter in NOLA


Christmas is a time for laughter and cheer,
Visitors get more then enough while here.

From tacky Christmas parties to endless shopping,
There is never a second to spare,
As the holiday spirit fills you, dear.

There is not a sad face near,
Whenever Christmas is here.

Christmas may not be a time for snow,
But New Orleans doesn’t fear,
There is enough cheer to share.

Rachel, age 17
