In South Louisiana, we do most things our own way, even Christmas. Everywhere else, Santa scoots around the world in a sleigh with his reindeer. In Cajun country, Santa's sleigh is a "fancy ‎pirogue" and his reindeer are "eight slimy alligators".

Below is a fantastic animated version of the classic "Cajun Night Before Christmas" narrated by Tee Jules.

So, sit back with the family this Christmas Eve and enjoy the story of Santa, Louisiana style.

Merry Christmas Cher!
