New Orleans Santa |
Not your average Santa. |
In most places, Santa hands out candy canes. In New Orleans, he hands out hot dogs from the Lucky Dog cart in the French Quarter; 1970. |
In most places, Santa's preferred mode of transportation around town is a sleigh. In New Orleans, he catches a ride on the streetcar; 1970. |
In most places, Santa travels with elves. In New Orleans, he travels with a jazz band; 1966. |
In most places, Santa arrives in town on a sleigh. In New Orleans, he comes by boat. |
In most places, Santa doesn't take a nap til he gets back home. In New Orleans, all the good food - crawfish etouffee, po-boys, beignets - makes Santa too sleepy to wait; 1981. |
