Your First Christmas Kilted

[Bugbear]

I just realized that I will be kilted at the Christmas party over at work. That will probably be the big Christmas thing for me. It's Kiltmas.

Looking forward to my first one, I plan on wearing it to the christmas party at work if itcomes in time, and depending on how I like the wind on my knees, I'll wear it the rest of this winter.

The only place I'll probably go back to jeans for is when I have to work on the construction site.

Last year was my first. I was in my Scottish National USAK semi-trad.

I wore my SWK Heavy Weight Black Watch to my Bro. & Sis. in laws in 04. No neg. comments from anyone.

This is my first Christmas kilted. I wore my SWK heavyweight Black Watch to the office Christmas party a couple of weeks ago, and I'm taking it with me to my non-kilted brother's house for Christmas (I hope my ebay Argyle arrives in time).

Maybe next year I'll visit my kilted brother (see Turpin's entry above) if they are in Atlanta for Christmas and we can present a united front.

Last year was my first, had just gotten my 9 yd MacLaren for my birthday a couple of months earlier. We had a couple of friends over for Christmas dinner.....a few jokes but not bad. I was/ am so proud of it that I don't care about the jokes. This year I wore it at our Christmas party in our home...had to, it was the same group of friends who pitched in to buy it for me last year. All good comments and lots of fun.....and lots of Chivas.
Merry Christmas to all!

The first time I can remember was 1975. I was 20 and wore the first kilt I had bought myself to my employer's Christmas dinner/dance. The lady sitting next to me was a manager's wife, probably more than twice my age, and kept insisting that my Clan Mackintosh kilt was a MacDonald. I distinctly remember her hand going up the outside of my right thigh (inside the kilt) after dinner.

Last year was the first time I did it, though I've had a kilt since a few years before that. I wore my NY Jets sweatshirt because Xmas was a gameday last year. The bonnet was a xmas gift. I'm thinking I might dress it up with the tweed Argyll jacket this year.

Well considering I got my first kilt just over a year ago, and last year I spent Christmas with my now ex-girlfriend,, and she didn't want me wearing a kilt in front of her whole family... This is going to be my first Christmas kilted. Good thing Im spending this Christmas with my family.

This looks to be my first also. Last year I was invited to a friend's home for Christmas Eve dinner. I had thought of going kilted, but since I was going to Midnight Mass right after in a chuch I don't attend, I thought better of it.

Imagine my amazement (and chagrin!) when I got to the church, only to find a man fully done up in kilt and PC right in the front row.

I spoke to him later and learned that he was a first cousin to the pastor, whom I knew only by an Italian surname. I guess he wouldn't have given me any grief about wearing a kilt.
