Happy Holidays XMTS (Christmas Kilting)
My Fellow X Markers,
I wanted to say how pleasant it has been to be back on xmarksthescot.com and that however you celebrate the holiday season I wish you all peace, happiness, and joy.
May your New Year be prosperous and bright.
Here are a few snapshots from my December
Me and my Dad at his chorale and bell choir performance (Heatherfield tartan kilt by Barb T)
With my two wonderful children at their Scottish Country Dance class Christmas party (My Galbraith modern tartan kilt by Rocky R, My Girl's Macpherson kilt by Sport kilt, and My Boy's XMTS kilt by my lovely wife Star)
At Dicken's Fair with my good friend Kent (walkerk). Kent and Madayln came to see my dance debut with the Red Thistle Dancers. (MacNicol muted hunting kilt by Rocky R, Kent is wearing the Johnston tartan)
At home with the newest member of our family, Miss Angelina Niffles (Galbraith ancient kilt by Matt Newsome, G&T by the lovely folks at the Bombay Spirits Company)
In a theatre ready to watch a Mexican Christmas dance concert, photo taken by my wee girl (Contented look by having so many wonderful family and friends around the world)
Happy Christmas All!
Cheers
Jamie

Merry Christmas!
What a lovely choice of kilts. And one of my favorite pictures above your fireplace!

Just one question and it's very important so read closely...
Who plays those drums and why aren't they in use?! (;0P

HAHA! 
I assure you they were well used during the chorale concert. The drummer used brushes for a jazzy edge on some of the songs performed. He had gone off to get a well deserved libation before finishing packing them away when Star snapped this photo!
Cheers
