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

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

Very many thanks for your kind seasonal greeting, Jamie. I take this public opportunity to reciprocate by sending you, Star, Sinbad, Xena and Miss Niffles my warmest Best Wishes for a Fab-u-lous Christmas and an amazing 2012.

Take care,
Ham.
