2013

Hope everyone is having a wonderful time on this first day of 2013. I am looking forward to all that 2013 will bring. As most of the country is winding down from the holidays, New Orleans is just taking a bit of a breather to gear up for the upcoming Mardi Gras season.

This coming Sunday is Twelfth Night or the Epiphany. This is the time in which the church celebrates the visit of the Christ Child by the magi. In New Orleans, it also marks the beginning of Carnival Season that will end on Mardi Gras. I am hosting an Epiphany brunch this Sunday and I’ll certainly have pictures of that and of all the upcoming fun.

Of course, the Superbowl will also be held in New Orleans this year so that brings yet another level of excitement. In fact, the city is splitting up the 2 weeks of Mardi Gras parades to accomodate the Superbowl on the weekend of February 3rd.

I hope you will join us here at A Southern Life to enjoy life in New Orleans and that everyone will have a wonderful and prosperous new year!
