Show Us Your Christmas/Festive Pics!

Some of us tend to “gild the lily” on our kilted attire as we come into the Christmas Season/Festive time; so show us here what you wear this year.

For December, my part-time employer Wally World has relaxed its uniform policy allowing us to wear our Christmas Season clothing. On Sundays there I work a full day and have been continuously kilted since the summer.

In my full time job as the administrator of a gated community I’ve changed casual Fridays to Kilted Fridays for the last 5 years or so. I really gilded the lily with my Robbie Red USAK 5 yarder, candy cane bowtie and “reindeer” bell!

I'll use this photo from the Dickens fest for my entry;

Forrest Green tweed jacket and waistcoat, and Celtic Nations tartan kilt, both from USA Kilts, and my favorite Skunk sporran from Thorfin Custom Sporrans. And of course the lovely Mandie and Cali are very nice accessories too

Today, in my 11th consecutive year of this annual tradition, I attended the Christmas Revels at the Oakland Scottish Rite Center's auditorium with my SO, Shannon (5th year for her). For general info, see http://californiarevels.org/ and to get a sense of various annual themes, see http://californiarevels.org/show_archive

I wanted to look "autumnal", while also looking smart but not TOO dressed up. Here I am across the street from the venue before the performance:

And on the ramp going up onto the stage from audience floor level:

EDIT: For those in the Bay Area, there are 7 performances remaining for this year: 2 tomorrow (Sunday), one next Friday evening, and 2 each on Saturday and Sunday -- and there are still tickets/seats available for all performances, so it's NOT too late for this wonderfully renewing experience.

I should add that it's interactive and partially (voluntarily) audience-participatory, as well as being a FANTASTIC thing for children.

Intermission is always signaled by a rendition of "The Lord Of The Dance", performed by a local Morris dance troupe; at the end, the chorus is repeated ad infinitum as performers snag willing participants out of the audience to join them onstage in a serpentine dance which ultimately winds out to the lobby where the refreshments and merchandise/souvenirs can be found. Yes, Shannon and I joined the dance.

I have to say that today marks the greatest number of compliments on the kilt I have EVER received in a single outing, from other attendees and cast members alike, both women and men.
