Papa Noel

A festive Christmas blend from South & Central America. You may know him as St Nicholas, St Nick, Kris Kringle or Santa Claus, but in South Louisiana he takes on a different name. The name is Papa Noel. He is a cajun Santa Claus that rides in a pirogue, or cajun canoe, pulled by alligators down the Mississippi. Story goes, the bonfires are set along the river so Papa Noel can find the houses of the good cajun boys and girls. Dont forget to leave ti gateaux, which is a Christmas sugar cookie and a fresh cup for Papa Noel on Chrismas Eve!
