Ashley - Winter in NOLA


When you read the Cajun Night Before Christmas,

When carolers play saxophones,

When streetcars are decorated like Christmas trees,

When most Christmas pics are taken by oak trees,

When your Christmas isn’t white,

When you eat gumbo on Christmas day,

When you know what Christmas means,

You know it’s Christmastime in New Orleans
