What did Santa bring you?

Santa had on my list a pair of Argyll Tartan hose from D&D Natural Fiber Company to match my tank in ancient Malcolm tartan. They arrived on Christmas Eve.

Santa surprised me with these wood carvings; Scottish Bagpiper and his faithful dog. We have a local artisan who does these carvings with a chain saw. Needless to say the bagpiper was a custom job. My wife will be painting/staining him.

So what did Santa bring you?

Hi Ern,

nothing kilt related, but thats because back in September the family & I were at the Centennial celebration of the Pendleton Round-Up, and my family got me presents related to the event (my other passion is rodeos & the Old West ), including a recently published book with photos taken at the week long celebration.

That & I got to meet my first grandchild/grandson for the first time too!

p.s. ~ I hear rumors though that I may get a belated gift of the sporran wallet that Matt & the STM is advertising!

A pair of garter ties made out of fabric my wife found in Rocky's remnant basket, and a large flat carving from Celtic Signs. We had house guests for Christmas, so we didn't open most of or gifts. I think we'll do that tonight.

Santa was very kind and brought me a few 18th century costume supplies I needed, as well as a Robert Burns CD by Ewan MacColl, and the Highland Clearances book, by John Prebble.

Oh! Ern, those are gorgeous! Congratulations on the Piper AND the wonderful new hose.

Santa brought me a 2011 diary.

Santa spoilt this naughty boy with a Dremil kit and a bunch of accessories, as well a barrel of my favourite shortbreads.

Santa was kind enough to bring a bottle of Glenlivet Naddura 16, a pair of glencairn single malt tasting glasses, and a pipe and drum CD, among other non kilt/scottish related stuff.

Santa ( me

) gave me a Cold Steel Scottish Dirk and a small addition to the Highland section of my library.

. For the price, I am very pleased with the dirk. Excellent constuction and finish. I would prefer that the grip be a bit shorter but, all in all, I think it a nice example of a Jacobite style Scottish dirk.
