Well, the Haggis has been been received from the local butchers, the turnips and potatoes are all set to be come neeps and tatties, the cock-a-leekie soup is all set, the new Barleyjuice album has been downloaded (and paid for!),the whisky is ample, and the beer is chilling.

All that's left to do is pick out which kilt to hear and to set up the pub tomorrow for a Burns night at my place for a few close friends.

I have been to the banquet suppers and to the small intimate gatherings and have decided, that in the spirit of Burns, to host a small gathering of close friends and neighbors to enjoy the evening.

We are replacing the Rampant Lion flag with the Australia flag (which will hang beside the St. Andre's flag and the Canadian Red Ensign flag) for the night as some of the guests are Aussies and we wanted to tie in the Australia Day activities on the 26th.

So what are your plans to celebrate Scotland's favourite bard?
