The first picture is of a shotgun house, typical of New Orleans architecture. Shotgun houses consist of three to five rooms in a row with no hallways and have a narrow, rectangular structure. The name, "shotgun house", comes from the saying that one could fire a shotgun through the front door and have pellets leave the house through the back door. They usually have a small front porch. This one is crammed with Christmas decorations. Notice the Santa holding a "wHO Dat" sign....
A house with a larger porch near the French Quarter.
Some pictures from caroling in Jackson Square. That's St. Louis Cathedral in the background.
A few photos from the "Christmas in the Oaks" celebration in New Orleans' City Park.
And, of course, the iconic French Quarter picture decked out for Christmas.
Peace, y'all!
How enchanting! You are very fortunate to live there, except during hurricane season. Kind of like where I live, except for tornado season.
