Do you know how depressing it is when you're used to celebrating Mardi Gras or Carnival Tuesday and they don't celebrate where you currently live? Mardi Gras here and its no parades, no beads, no dutty winin, no King Cakes, no day drinking, just a regular Tuesday 🤢🤢🤢
@HoTimothyJo I didn't appreciate Mardi Gras until I married a woman from Algiers (the 15th Ward of NOLA) and moved to Baton Rouge, then Lafayette. Its underlying meaning/traditions vary widely, depending on a plethora of variables. https://t.co/Kd7az0ey7h

by the time the actual day of mardi gras rolls around everyone on the floats has had it and they just chunk full unopened packages of beads at your head and honestly i think that’s the best part
@BarbaraKroupa trying not to watch the news and the princess is coming over no school tomorrow because of snow. So it’s Mardi Gras time! You will laugh at my bread! My Alligator is smooshed! https://t.co/3x1TObhw85
Mardi Gras marks the end of the Carnival season which is a period observed by many Roman Catholics. It starts at Epiphany on January 6 and ends on the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday.
