Did Santa Come?

[Mael Coluim]

The best gift was being with my family for Christmas. The second was a DVD my wife gave me entitled, The Book of Kells, The Work of Angels?

Santa was most excellent this year. New Braemar jacket from the parents. A new celtic knotwork day sporran that arrived with my daughters mini kilts from John Paul and his staff at tartanweb/scottishkilts.net. We went to my parents my 2 younger daughters wearing their new kilts and I in mine. (can't persuade my wife to get one she's of Ukrainian ancestry). Hope everyone had a good Christmas

I did pretty good this year, mostly of hand made kilt related clothing made by my loving and genius wife...

First, she made me two band collar shirts with a little extra length. Both are silk but one is a silk broadcloth and the other is a silk and linen blend. I got a black one with a white collar and a cream one (in the photo).

Then she made me a Jacobite blue bonnet--knitted and felted--and a white satin cockade (from a photo and illustration here on this forum...thank you very much).

And lastly, after a lot of research and many mistakes that had to be taken out, she made me a singleton and a third (didn't get it done in time for Christmas) of tartan hose to match my kilt.

I also got a small round "sporran" flask from my daughter.

Here you can see the shirt, bonnet and hose:



and this photo shows the hose a little more closely:



Still holding out hope for a P-37 battle dress.

Your wife did a fine job on your argyle hose.

Santa did however get me a very nice black fleece vest, which I will wear with my kilts throughout the winter and fall. I like the look of a kilt and a vest. Thank you Santa Joan!

History - My mother was a serious quilter. She had an amazing "stash" of gorgeous fabrics. When she passed, most of the fabrics went with my sister to Virginia, with me keeping only a few special pieces.
Christmas day I opened the package from my sister of a huge hand sewn quilt, by my sister of fabrics that we both adored from Mom's "stash". Itcontains some Celtic designs and a centerpiece in the form of a MacNeil "tartan". My mother's heritage of which we are both proud.
Rocky - I may have to buy some more tartan - to make my sister a tartan skirt. Will keep you posted.
Slainte.

Got a great Aran Sweater and a new watch from my wife, and a shilelagh from my dad. Apparently it is made by a guy in Ireland out of hickory and blackthorn root, and this design is the same one that was made for President's Kennedy, Reagan and Clinton.

Oh, and for myself, I bought a new kilt from Stillwater - weathered McKenzie:







I bought it before I found out about my job, but couldn't bring myself to send it back.

I've seen that DVD in Gael Song's cataloge and have been wanting to get a copy of it myself. Have you had the chance to look at it yet? There certainly is some amazing artwork in the Book of Kells.

It was a H-D Christmas for me, with a new sweat shirt, highway pegs, and a gift cert to purchase most of a pair of engine guards, from my sweet wife who indulges my motorcycle addiction. And a couple of great books of cat stories from my Mum in law. Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!
