It wouldn't be the usual thing with pipers and everyone dressed to the nines and every part rehearsed out. Instead....

I'd invite about 6-8 people, probably four couples. I'm the only one who is a regular kilt wearer, and two of the other men never wear kilts. I'd be kilted. Some other folks wouldwear tartan of one type of another, I expect. Most wouldn't.

It'd be a pot-luck. I expect Doreen would whip up the haggis, as she does one or two every year for other reasons. I might invest in a bottle of decent single-malt for the occasion.


The featured activity would be reading from ANY Scottish authors works. It doesn't have to be Burns, though it might be. Everybody that signs on (except my wife, who'll flat-out refuse) has to read for 30 seconds. Aside from that it'd just be a time to get together for good talk and good times with friends.

So whatcha' all think? Is this an acceptable Burns Supper or does it really need to be "done up right"?
