Thank you for reading my blog. It's nice that you would take the time to stop and read. 2. Thank you for your comments. As you can see by my husbands post - He grew up there, and I think we have a fairly good idea about what Mardi Gras really is about. 3. Thank you for the history lesson....even though I am quite familiar with the history behind Mardi Gras - maybe my readers aren't. 4. Thank you for sharing your opinion..... HOWEVER....that is as far as my thanks goes, BECAUSE....this is the first and will be the last ANONYMOUS comment that I will ever approve. If you don't have the balls to at least put a name and proper e-mail address to your comments then - In my opinion they aren't worth much and won't be publicized. ALSO, This is MY BLOG where I write MY OWN THOUGHTS, OPINIONS, and RANTINGS, and if you don't like what I have to say - THEN DON"T READ!!!!!!! BTW - I am Irish, and as much as St. Patricks day is a wonderful Irish Holiday with an amazing history. I still don't send my children to school with kegs of beer.(We keep those at home to party with! - Because it is all about the drinking....Isn't it?) Dear Anon,

I grew up there and a lot of people that live there leave the city to avoid the depravity. If you are careful, you can have a fairly clean time, but you've gotta be REALLY careful. What really brasses me off is that mardi gras is REALLY a day off to sin to your hearts content. <i>That way you can get it out of your system before you have to fast for 40 days (lent).</i> And what-the-hey, God's gonna forgive you the next day anyway (ash wednesday). Even if there are "clean" festivities there, it doesn't really lend itself to being a good elementary school theme. And next time if you want to post about the benefits of mardi gras, go start your own blog! well… I grew up there and a lot of people that live there leave the city to avoid the depravity.

I have and yes there is sex and drugs and booze but that is not what its all about. you only see that on the news or "girls gone wild" yes at night there are parties on bourbonstreet, but during the day there are parades and great feasts put on by people in New Orleans, I have been there many a times and I think of N.O. s my home away from home. Mardi Gras is known as "Mardi Gras (French for "Fat Tuesday") is the day before Ash Wednesday, and is also called "Shrove Tuesday". It is the final day of Carnival and in New Orleans, Louisiana, because of its French heritage). It is a celebration that is held just before the beginning of the Christian liturgical season of Lent. The feast should not be confused with the Polish Fat Thursday. so yes it is a party, but it is NOT ALL ABOUT sex, drugs and booze. what about st.patricks day is that a day for drunks to drink and party? or is it the day us Irish to give thanks to our st.patrick who escaped salvery to become second bishop to Ireland. i came across ur blog and was upset about how refered to mardi gras, have you ever been?
