What unusual things do New Orleanians do during the holidays?
Well...
1. We set things on fire. For fun.
Christmas fires in other places are usually sad and unfortunate occurrences associated with faulty holiday lights or burning oil overflowing a turkey-frying pot. Here in south Louisiana, we set stacks of wood on fire to light the way for Pere Noel.
Haven't been to a Christmas bonfire? Go see the Algiers bonfire Dec. 3 from 4:30 to 8:00 p.m. on the Mississippi River batture near the ferry landing. Or, go to the Christmas Eve bonfires in the River Parishes.
