...And to you as well, and to the other floaters out there also.

Looking forward to seeing if the Wife picked up on any of my very obvious hints. :shock:

Remember the reason for the season!

This is on the Mississippi River levee in St James Parish (county to you folks in the other 49 states)Louisiana and has been taking place for 200 years. Originally thought to be a winter solstice ceremony started by German immigrants. In later years it came to be thought of as lighting the way for Santa Clause on Christmas Eve. Bon fires are built by families ever hundred yards or so apart for several miles and all lit at the same time. Merry Christmas
