But what really gets me into the Christmas spirit is some songs that a lot of the locals know and love and sing every year. They're silly little songs but they've been a part of my life since I was a child and I can't imagine a Christmas without hearing them at least once.
Twelve Yats of Christmas
Santa and His Reindeer used to Live Right Here
Ain't Dere No More
My mom also used to read me and my brother little Christmas stories, but we didn't get the regular Twas the Night Before Christmas. She always read us the Cajun Night Before Christmas where Santa's sleigh was pulled by alligators instead of reindeer :P
