    Go fer it! If the tartan you want to wear during Christmas has red, white, and green, even better.

    I used to see a man dressed in a kilt at Christmastime at the church I grew up going to. Never introduced myself to him but he always looked sharp.

    I wear mine to church several times a year, namely for St. Andrews Day, as has been mentioned in this thread, and the Sunday closest to April 6, which is Tartan Day here in South Carolina. I also attend a Presbyterian church, a denomination which regularly features "Kirkins o' the Tartan" services, so the kilt itself is not new to most people. I have never received anything but complements and interest.

    Reading, fellows, through the OP's comments, what happens at Anglican, Roman, United and Presbyterian type churches has no bearing whatever on his situation. I recognize the style of that church and validate his concerns. Not something our examples can moderate.

    Merry Christmas Eve! I am Antiochian Orthodox, and I haven’t worn my kilts to Church services for the sake of not wanting to draw attention to myself, but I have worn them to work around the Church property with fellow parishioners. No one seems to mind, just questions about the tartan and am I Scottish (Nope, I just love the kilt! Hey, no one’s perfect!). I did have a friend at Church ask the undergarment question, but I reminded her that her husband wouldn’t appreciate it if I made the same inquiry.
