11 Items You Can’t Forget On A Louisiana Christmas Day
In Desoto Parish, Louisiana they have taken what might be considered an "eyesore" and turned it into a holiday spectacle. In Acadia Parish, they've taken a patch of pavement that might normally be used for playing tennis and turned it into an ice skating rink. In Youngsville, infrastructure elements designed to regulate the flow of traffic, aka the roundabouts, have been transformed into holiday displays that delight all who pass by.
The reason we decorate our towns, our yards, our houses, and bring dead trees into our homes is all about sharing joy. I think we all have a fond memory of something we saw as a child around Christmas time that stays with us as a reminder of the innocence we once felt.
As we get older we find a lot of that innocence is replaced with the reality of Christmas. It usually shows up about 30 days after we open presents in the form of a credit card statement. Another "real" moment we experience at Christmas is the shocking realization that "we forgot" something important.
No, we didn't forget to get the gift, we just didn't remember to get the accessories needed to make the gift useful. Do the phrases "some assembly required" and "batteries not included" ring a bell?
We don't want those little oversights to spoil your memorable Christmas Morning. So here's a list that is curated from your suggestions on what to remember and what not to forget. Basically, we're Grinch-Proofing your holiday.
