Did Santa Come?

[Mr. Kilt]

Karen and I spent Christmas day in Winnipeg at my brother's brand-new house. All of the family was there for the first time in ages, it was great!

Karen and I don't exchange big gifts at Christmas, we save up and buy something nice for the two of us instead. This year we finally got ourselves a mini-DVD camcorder. YouTube will never be the same! LOL

My only kilt-related gift this year was this gorgeous ornament for the tree that Karen found while shopping...

I got a real surprise with 2 kilt pins. Normally I buy kilt related items myself as no one is sure what to get. Also enough booze to keep me going for a bit, and more music.

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?

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!

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

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.
