We have museums, retail therapy, and parades that give out prizes. Mardi Gras, the cure for winter blahs!

And for the next 5 years, Habitat for Humanity is committed to help rebuild houses, so you could sign up to help build homes too. I heard on the news recently that much of the US STILL thinks we're flooded!

So Mardi Gras mambo mambo mambo - the cure for SAD! Mardi Gras, the best free show in North America.
