Ok so I was told that I need to keep this blog more up to date. So here I go. Its the first part of January and I have a ton of things I need to improve on so why not try to improve this as well. Christmas was relatively quiet this year. It was our first Christmas not at home in Wyoming with our family. Due to the sky rocketing price of airline tickets we were unable to make it home this year. So we spent Christmas with friends and ourselves. Christmas Eve was spent in a little town called Gramercy Louisiana. It is right down on the levee and every Christmas they have Bonfires on the Levee. People rent a spot and build these pyramid looking towers and then set them a light on Christmas Eve. I was told that in the olden days it was to lead Christians to church but then people started telling their kids it was to lead Papa Noel (as he is called down here) to their homes. Almost all bonfires are also equipped with boxes of fireworks at the top, so once they are set on fire they really explode. What is really cool is as far as the eye can see are all these bonfires set up along the river. It is a really great Christmas tradition So some friends of ours invited us to a party their parents have every year and we went down and watched the bonfires. Despite the rain it was really fun and something that I have always wanted to see down here.
