Finding the Christmas Spirit

At the ongoing Great Dickens Fair http://www.dickensfair.com/ this past Sunday I managed to find the Christmas Spirit

of Christmas Present that was!

Tis the Season...

Cheers

looks like you found the "Bearded Lady" of the poster. What is your neckwear?

It certainly looks like you were liking life and that life was liking you!

Merry Christmas!

I bought my neckwear at the Dickens Fair. Though the clerk that assisted me insisted that it was an ascot I firmly believe it is a cravat (being that it is simply a very long band of material). The clerk noted there are a myriad of styles in which one could wear them and put it into a "waterfall" style of fold for me. My friend Keith suggested another way with a simple bow that I much preferred.

I think the second way has a bit more pan..err...flair

PS: BEEDEE noted that my horsehair sporran is being worn far to low in the photo above. The fancy waistcoat is not nearly as high cut as a standard kilt one and the sporran needs to be worn closer to it. Thanks Brian!

If that "Christmas Spirit" asks you to sit on his lap and tell him what you want for Christmas, run!

BTW, are you wearing sleeve garters? If so, I like it!
