Annie - Winter in NOLA


New Orleans in the Holiday Season

Going to City Park to Christmas in the Oaks

Lights going up around the city

The air becoming chilly

Friends and family getting together

Laughter and love filling the air

Exams drifting closer and closer

People hugging

People being happy and cheerful because Christmas is near

Joy spreading around the city

A feeling of home and togetherness is what the holiday season in New Orleans is

Annie, age 16
