Mardi Gras Is Near!

Recently I have been caught up in schoolwork and almost have forgotten that we are in Mardi Gras Season. It seems that every year the preparations are more extensive and earlier than last year. For many, Mardi Gras may seem like a day of festivities but it is much more than that. The Mardi Gras many come to know of is a more of a commercialized holiday. You can read a bit more about the history of Mardi Gras here. It doesn't hurt to take a break once in awhile to enjoy life. Take a look at the schedules of parades here and go out and be immersed!
