Louisiana

Christmas in Louisiana typically requires a tank top and a pair of Nike shorts, but the fickle and humid weather does not keep us from enjoying the most wonderful time of the year. One tradition for Louisiana residents is to travel to Natchitoches for the Light Festival along the Cane River, which is accompanied by an illuminating fireworks show. Families gather from all parts of the state to enjoy this spectacle with a nice cup of hot chocolate or cider. Small events such as these help us realize that we do not always need snow to have a merry Christmas.
