Sarah - Winter in NOLA


When its Christmas time in New Orleans
Fire places are roaring
Children are singing
Bells are ringing

Snow is not falling
But NOLA is not crying.

New Orleans celebrates Christmas in a different way
It is unexplainable.
One day hot, the next day cold
But that is how New Orleanians roll

Sarah, age 16
