Mardi Gras

The paper chains

As a few know, Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday) occurs on Feb 21 this year. For those who don’t know what Mardi Gras is, it’s basically a Catholic holiday that represents Jesus. Besides that, this year I celebrated Mardi Gras at home and in my French class. One classmate of mine had brought the cake and even had the baby inside of it. Usually people wear clothes or jewelry with the colors of purple, yellow, & green for Mardi Gras. We got to wear some beaded necklaces, and some students from our class & other class periods made a paper chain with the Mardi Gras colors! My class also played a few fun games such as giuteen & Boule. Their person who got the baby was Cyrus, another person in my French class which was good because he had a competition. The GeoBee. It’s like a spelling bee but instead of spelling you have to guess geography locations. The reason why it’s good Cyrus got the baby is also because whoever gets the baby should have luck for the rest of the year. I did enjoy the little celebration and the cake was great. Thanks Holland, you saved the day! Or else, no… cake…
