Holly - Winter in NOLA


Christmas in New Orleans combines the city's unique personality with the jolliest time of the
year.
Whether walking down Fulton St.
Seeing the ginger bread house in the Roosevelt Hotel
Walking through Christmas in the Oaks
Caroling on Bayou St. John
Seeing the decorated Christmas tree in the Ritz
Or just being with family,
The people of New Orleans are united.
It may only snow once every few years and is never really that cold,
But New Orleans does Christmas in a way unlike any other—
in a way that cannot be replicated by any other city or by any other group of people.

Holly, age 17
