I hope everyone has a very Happy Christmas. I hope that those who may be missing family make the most of precious memories however hard it may be, and those demented by rarely seen relatives get some peace at this time of year!

Scrappy Doo keeping a close eye on my mother as she opens her presents.

By the way..

It's a tradition in Scotland to eat Steak-pie on News Years Day, does anyone else have a traditional dish they eat on News Years Day?

Baked ham

No particular dish for New Years Day, but if we stay in on NYEve (and this year we are having a quiet one in) I buy a roast, maybe beef or pork, make hot sandwiches, open a bottle of Champagne and roast some chestnuts...then at midnight OH goes out the backdoor and is let in the front...always carrying a piece of coal.

Not sure what the origin is, but it's a tradition I grew up with so we still do it.

Just a tip, if you are wearing your kilt FGS keep your legs shut.

Happy New Year Syl!!

In Scotland people say "Lang may yer lum reek" as a New Year toast, meaning "Long may your chimney smoke" then sometimes people joke "with other peoples coal"

Basically it means, you hope the person lives a long and healthy life!!
