Appreciate this Biblical take on Fat Tuesday and Lent. Frankly, I think it's origins are more in line with the old Roman celebration of Saturnalia, than anything Christian. They may have converted, but kept their old celebrations and holidays.

As a believer, “Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness”

You can celebrate it the holy way. Fat Tuesday is basically eating your favorite snacks before you give them up for 40 days, just how Jesus was in the desert for 40 days.
