December Vacation — Natchitoches, Louisiana
Join BB and CC, The Vacation Girls, for their final vacation of the year as they travel to beautiful Natchitoches, Louisiana, where thousands of Christmas lights, Southern traditions, family, faith, and the celebration of Jesus' birth bring their year of adventures to a memorable conclusion.
From the moment BB and CC arrive, they discover why Christmas in Natchitoches is so special. Along the Cane River, thousands of colorful lights sparkle across the water, creating reflections that look like a glowing mirror. The girls walk beneath arches of lights, discover illuminated Christmas displays, watch volunteers working to make the celebration special, and experience the excitement of one of Louisiana's most beloved Christmas traditions.
There is plenty to taste and explore, too! BB and CC enjoy beignets and gumbo, visit local shops, decorate Christmas cookies, experience a festive Christmas parade, and step back in time at Kaffie-Frederick General Mercantile. Everywhere they go, the girls discover friendly people, local traditions, and reminders that communities become special when people work together and care for one another.
Their Louisiana adventure also includes the excitement of a Northwestern State University Demons football game, where the girls experience school spirit, the marching band, cheerleaders, purple and white decorations, and the fun of cheering together as a family.
But amid the lights, decorations, food, football, and Christmas excitement, BB and CC remember the most important message of the season. During a quiet Sunday visit to the beautiful Minor Basilica of the Immaculate Conception, the family worships together and reflects on the birth of Jesus. The girls are reminded that Christmas is not simply about presents and decorations—Jesus is the reason for the season.
As with every book in the BB & CC The Vacation Girls series, Christian faith and family remain at the heart of the journey. BB and CC learn that they can shine God's love through kindness, helping others, encouraging a friend, serving their community, and treating everyone with love and respect.
Written especially for children in grades 3–5, BB & CC's December Vacation: Natchitoches, Louisiana combines FUN + LEARNING + FAITH + FAMILY in a joyful Christmas adventure. Young readers experience Louisiana history and culture, Christmas traditions, community service, worship, and the importance of keeping Christ at the center of Christmas.
December also brings BB and CC's incredible year of vacations to a close. Looking back over twelve months of travel, the girls realize that their greatest journey was not measured simply by the miles they traveled or the places they visited. It was measured by the memories they made, lessons they learned, people they met, faith they strengthened, and love they shared.
The suitcases may be put away for now, but BB and CC will carry the lessons of their adventures wherever life's journey takes them.
Celebrate Christmas with BB and CC in Natchitoches—where the lights shine brightly, families make memories, faith leads the way, and Jesus remains the reason for the season!
