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.⁠
