Guest inoubliable Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I think you are right. And considering Christianity is such a late comer to the party there wasn't much else that could be done. The traditions were already in place it just made things easy to but a stamp of Christianity on them. But it is fun to celebrate no matter the origins. Yep! Enjoy!

Lady Florida. Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 But it is fun to celebrate no matter the origins. So true. Hehe. I've been to Mardi Gras in NOLA 3 times - all while I was in college. No way would I go near it now. This old gal just can't take partying like that anymore. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easier to celebrate. :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Florida. Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxDSKRAEryo That was fun to watch. Now I want to go look for the episode on Netflix. I seem to freeze at reading anything non-fiction. If you don't count cookbooks, home decorating, and craft how-to books (which I browse through rather than actually read), I can count on one hand the number of non-fiction books I read last year.

aggieamy Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 What a second... who said Christians don't like to party and drink. Someone is getting their information really wrong there. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone is getting their information really wrong there. :) I was thinking more of the excess and behaviors that accompany it being not so religious :cheers2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One last hurrah before settling into the penitent nature of Lent. After mardi gras there are some that need to be more penitent than others.
