Shrove Tuesday (Mardi Gras) is an actual church observance for many. I actually don't have a problem with using the theme of Mardi Gras as celebrated in New Orleans for a formal theme - the beads, masks, colours, etc. That's really more of a regional than a religious observance. It's the debauchery on Shrove Tuesday itself which gives me pause. And even that doesn't more than mildly annoy (and amuse) me.
