Go ahead, Bobby Shaftoe, pole your pirque down the bayou. Your cajun Christmas story is great fun.



I was not pooh-poohing him, just comparing traditions. The
tradidional with what happens in America. Christmas was
the partridge in days gone by, nowadays America sees the
Christmas tree in the creek, as you say, or on the
curb waiting for trash haulaway. Only Renaissance groups
celebrate Twelfth Night. The Orthodox Christians, however,
following the Julian Calendar celebrate Christmas on 6 January.
Go ahead Bob, I'm following you, and enjoying it too.


Among many others: Christmas Day is Day One
