Here’s a great New Orleans style Christmas song with the inimitable Louis Armstrong singing and playing. I made the slideshow of holiday images from around the city.
Merry Christmas! Enjoy!

Christmastime in New Orleans – Lyrics
Magnolia trees
At night
Sparkling bright
Fields of cotton
Look Wintery white
When it’s
Christmas time
In New Orleans
A barefoot choir
In prayer
Fills the air
Mississippi folks
Are gathering there
When it’s
Christmas time
In New Orleans
Bridge:
You’ll see
A dixieland Santa Claus
Leading the band
To a good old Creole beat
And golly what a spirit
You can only hear it
Down on Basin Street
Your cares will disappear
When you hear
Hallelujah
St. Nicholas is here
When it’s Christmas time
In New Orleans
Oh, yeah, baby
