Welcome to 2020 Politics or Rom-Amal Hunt. My partner James Carville is down in New

Orleans. Subscribe, rate, and review this podcast on Apple podcasts, Spotify,

Stitcher, and Google podcasts. First of happy holidays, Merry Christmas to

everyone, even Jim Jordan. And James, this is a season of faith, the birthday of

Christ, but it's for everyone. It is a season, it should be at least a season of joy.

And we have special, special reason or reasons to be joyful because of our

spouses. As the late Bob Novak said, they were kind enough to let us keep our

maiden name, but we have Mary Madeline and Judy Woodruff here. Thank you both for

being with us. It is great to be here with the three of you. I'm so excited to be

joining you. Allie Jolly kids. All right, let's start off rather than talk about, you

know, the heavy stuff, which is too heavy. Mary Haddard, the Madeline Carville

spend Christmas. Well, depends on where LSU and or the Saints are in the football

lineup. So this year we are going to have a quiet Christmas and anticipation of

celebrating the Tigers. Go tag us. And our famous soon our famous

sizeventurope winner, Joe Burrow. Thank you. Oh, hi. Yeah, it's yeah,

why don't they be going to my sister's house, which is where I grew up, but in

our 10 minutes from New Orleans, Christmas day is pretty quiet. Sometimes we

like to have spaghetti and meatballs on Christmas day. You know, every place has a

Louisiana is obviously no exception. But one thing I never experienced until we

moved here was were these bonfires. I would ask James to elaborate on them, but

they are bonfires on the levy. Two stories high. What's the history?
