Caroline - Winter in NOLA


New Orleans at Christmas time
So much joy to fill the air
Jingle Bells ringing everywhere
Happiness spread throughout the city
If only this season could last forever
The bright lights blinking at night
No wonder they shine more and more
The fire place to keep you warm
And family to make everything merry
The Christmas tree to hover over the presents
There might be no snow
But Christmas is always special in the Big Easy

Caroline, age 15
