Southern Carnival

As I mentioned yesterday, January 6th is the beginning of Carnival starting with Twelfth Night of the Epiphany. This is the celebration of the three kings visiting the Christ child.

While some see the Carnival season as one of drunken parties and debauchery, to many it is actually a time of celebration of faith and festivals that are attended with families.

I posted a recipe for King Cake yesterday. The King Cake is decorated with the traditional colors of the Carnival season.

Purple represents justice; green, faith; and gold, power.

It’s interesting to note that our Mardi Gras colors influenced the choice of school colors for arch rivals Louisiana State University and Tulane University.

When LSU was deciding on its colors, the shops in New Orleans had stocked up on purple, green, and gold material for the Mardi Gras season. LSU decided upon purple and gold, and bought much of it. Tulane (my husband’s alma mater) bought much of the only remaining color — green!

I love anything that helps us to brighten up the cold gray days of January. Although, I’ll have to admit, after the weekend snow, the sun came out today and the sun on the bright white snow was spectacular!

    Today, I went to the beach front with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had to tell someone!
