I’ve got my mind on Mardi Gras and Mardi Gras on I’ve got my mind on Mardi Gras and Mardi Gras on my mind 💜💚💛. I have to be honest that my little Mardi Gras heart shattered into a million pieces when they said no parades this year. But like so much in the last 12 months I have learned that the best parts of the things I love are the feelings I got from them. So while we will miss being on the Avenue this year we will come up with another way for Mardi Gras to live in our hearts until next year. Today on the blog I am telling your four ways you can Mardi Gras in place.  Link in bio.

The combination of taking down the Christmas decor and being stuck in the house for 10 days quarantining had me flitting all over the house purging things and moving stuff around. Every room has a fresh little look for the new year which makes my doer heart happy.

NOLA Christmas Tree Hunt

Disclaimer: In the year of 2020 things change, are cancelled or postponed at a moments notice. I have tried to verify that all of the following things are happening this year but I would be prepared that things may change. I am doing my best to keep up and make changes when I hear of anything being cancelled.

Before we had kids Justin and I had a yearly tradition of going to New Orleans for an evening of good food and looking at Christmas lights. We started bringing the boys along a few years ago and our whole family looks forward to it each year.

Although many events ae being cancelled and things like visiting Santa are completely different we are still finding ways to bring that holiday joy.

Over the years friends have asked me which hotels we went to and what were the best stops. I started writing them down so we had a list to go back to each year. Last year I created this map so everyone can join in on the fun.

**Please remember to wear your mask, wash your hands often and keep your social distance. Please help to keep the city of New Orleans safe and open.**

Christmas Tree Scavenger Hunt Route

The Roosevelt Hotel – 130 Roosevelt Way – trees and a gingerbread house.  This is the premier place in New Orleans for Christmas pictures.  It is always beautifully decorated and just a sight to see as the entire lobby is covered in lights.

***The Roosevelt is asking that all passersby wear their masks, try to social distance and avoid staying for long periods of time.***

Ritz Carleton – 921 Canal Street – beautiful ceiling designs in the lobby (3rd floor) and outdoor décor.  You can also walk through their gingerbread house and they have samples sometimes.

What to do after…

With the pandemic so many of these events have been cancelled. I am keeping this section here in hopes that 2021 will see a healthier population and the return of so much holiday fun!

We have planned this trip out a few different ways. The hunt takes us about an hour to an hour and a half depending on how many stops we have to make. We try to make it work where we can have lunch or dinner after but these are a few ideas of other fun event we have incorporated into the day…

Celebration in the Oaks. This year there is only going to be a drive through display that is 2.5 miles long. You can purchase tickets in advance as well as the add on activities like the Carousel Garden.

Beignets and Shopping. Three years ago we finished the trip and then went to Cafe Du Monde by Jackson Square and then continued to Santa’s Quarters to go ornament shopping.

Audubon Zoo Christmas Lights. {Cancelled in 2020} This was also a new to us event last year. The Zoo Lights were breathtaking. Anything the Audubon Zoo does is usually beautiful and this is no exception.

Luna Fete. {Cancelled in 2020} Last year was our first experience with Luna Fete which is a festival of light, art and technology put on my the Arts Council of New Orleans. This event will take place December 12th – 15th and stretches from Lafayette Square to Fulton Street.

Boys ready for winter fun
