Readers are taken back two centuries, before the advent of electricity, when lush trees were illuminated with candlesticks, pious Creoles prayed in a church constructed of cypress logs, and eager children received presents of tin toys and porcelain teapots. There are reflections on the musings of Mr. Bingle, City Park's Celebration in the Oaks, and bonfires along the Mississippi River.
In twelve enlightening chapters, the authors cover many different aspects of Christmas, such as the celebrations in the French Quarter, the favored cuisine of the season, Hanukkah, and Twelfth Night. Complete with pictures from private and public collections, a réveillon recipe from Chef John Besh, and recollections from notable New Orleanians, including Anne Rice and Irma Thomas, this stunning book is perfect for Louisiana locals, or those who simply love the city.
