anyway there many names fotthe jolly old man .
some call him St Nick or St Nickolas; that was on Dec 5
then there was the Trappers Christmas in lat February; That because in dec. the trappers was too busy for Christmas.
In New orleans people would go to Mass and then Papa Noel would come and leave toys and full the socking of the chridren. . After Mass people would have la Reveillion which is a big feast of all type of food.
then you go to the ls creche... the manger scene. and gifts was exchange on new years day. that the old times.
The German descent cammed him Kris Kringle with a side kick called Black Peter. Black Peter job was to collect the bad children into his sack.
And then there Santa Claus
now i forgot to say about st nickolas on River road . River Road is the road that follow the Mississippe river. he rides a donkey and left goodies in the shoesleft on the porch. Plus along the river they light bon fires for Papa Noel. that stated with the Manist prists at Jefferson college. the height of the bon fires had to be limited because of the levels would not be damage.
well anyway He still a jolly old fat man giveing toys and goodies to good children.
Iknow the bad kids get toys too guess they did something to redeem theyselfs some where we did not see but the jolly old man saw it.

It's neat to hear about other traditions for Santa Claus and for Christmas. I know the Cajun's traditions came from the French who moved to Canada, and later were expelled from Acadia, hence the name Cajuns. It was claimed that they were expelled from the land because they were to convert the local Indians to Christianity, and didn't, so the terms of the lease were broken. The reality I think was that there were other powerful merchants that wanted the land for it's fur trade and mineral rights. The French Acadians ended up in Louisiana, and of course intermarried with the locals. So you have a really rich heritage in Louisiana, French, Spanish, Indian, Creole, a lovely potpourri of traditions! And .. a lovely night shot of Santa Claus!!
