‘Way down south Louisiana’ it’s an old Cajun tradition to light bonfires along the Mississippi levee to help guide in Santa Claus (Papa Noel) on Christmas Eve. This particular bonfire was lit in advance for guests of The American Queen to enjoy. You can just make out the lights of the paddleboat in the background.
Wishing you a wonderful holiday, with convivial company and all the traditions you hold dear.

All the best to you too for the festive season.
Thanks Anabel. I hope you’ve been spared the wintry weather I’ve been reading about.
We have wind and rain! Not very Christmassy.
Have a lovely Christmas too.
Thank you.
What a contrast between the live flames and the prim, proper dots on the paddleboat. A lovely image. And so comforting to know that Papa Noel will find his way — I’m counting on that! A wonderful holiday to you, too!
Thank you! I’m glad to report that he made it here.
Joy to you and F on this happy day.
Thanks Marian. We both send a hug!
And to you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Thanks Oneta.
Very Cool! Thanks for sharing 🙂
My pleasure.
Merry Christmas 😃
Thanks Julie. It looks lovely and sunny where you are!
Oh cool! Were you there, Susan?
I was – virtually all the pictures I share here are ones I’ve taken. It was last year though, not this.
I love that kind of stuff. We like to go to the solstice celebrations at the Ogden Nature Center. 🙂
