The terms "Mardi Gras" (mär`dē grä) and "Mardi Gras season", in English, refer to events of the Carnival celebrations, ending on the day before Ash Wednesday. From the French term "Mardi Gras" (literally "Fat Tuesday"smile, the term has come to mean the whole period of activity related to those events, beyond just the single day, often called Mardi Gras Day or Fat Tuesday.The season can be designated by the year, as in "Mardi Gras 2008".

The time period varies from city to city, as some traditions consider Mardi Gras as the Carnival period between Epiphany or Twelfth Night and Ash Wednesday. Others treat the final three-day period as being Mardi Gras. In Mobile, Alabama, Mardi Gras events begin in November, followed by mystic society balls on Thanksgiving, then New Year's Eve, formerly with parades on New Year's Day, followed by parades and balls in January & February, celebrating up to midnight before Ash Wednesday.

Other cities most famous for their Mardi Gras celebrations include Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and New Orleans, Louisiana. Many other places have important Mardi Gras celebrations as well.

Carnival is an important celebration in most of Europe, except in Ireland and the United Kingdom where the festival is called "shrovetide" ending on Shrove Tuesday, and pancakes are the tradition, and also in many parts of Latin America and the Caribbean.

Hi TDTAT, Is the above "Answer:" followed by a question intentional? Or is it a mistake? Is this contest like the game show Jeopardy where the answer is actually a question? Perhaps I'm overthinking this.. smile

To answer your question, I celebrate Tuesdays in all forms, whether it be Fat, Anorexic, or Obese...I'm simply looking for reasons to celebrate!

Thanks again for all these fat contests! smile

the translation got messed up smile

Any interpretation of how to enter this contest will be accepted in any case. smile

Yes we celebrate Fat. I am not catholic but my husbands family is we chose to celebrate it both traditionally and non traditionally, traditionally with his family when we are close to them and non traditionally as way to honor New Orleans and all that Fat Tuesday stands for. If that makes sense. smile
