	Cajun Country Christmas
		Since the Cajun population of south Louisiana is predominantly Catholic, the birth of Christ is a sacred reason for them to celebrate.
		Also, Cajuns as a rule simply love to socialize, so their Christmas holidays often abound with visits, parties, parades, food, spirited drinks, gifts, decorated homes, and community "festival of light" celebrations.
		In the northwestern part of the state, Natchitoches is known as The City of Lights and its colorful illuminated displays have been a popular tourist attraction for many years.

		The Cajuns have been referred to as a “linguistic curiosity,” and, in fact, their versions of English and French differ from American English and the French spoken in France.
		Cajuns are descendants of French settlers who moved into the area of Canada known as Acadia (modern day Nova Scotia) in the early 1600s.
		The French spoken by the older Cajuns was passed on to their descendants, who found it necessary to speak English for socioeconomic reasons, and the syllable final/phrase final stress of French persists to this day in the speech of Cajuns.
