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"), 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".

This means that we're getting closer to Easter (April 12th), and in the Christian Lent season.

Happy Mardi Gras to you all.
