    Sharing Christmas with our Xmarks Friends


    Ann gave me a new pair of boots for Christmas - and several pairs of soccer socks, mostly in blue and in navy blue but also including this red pair. Well, Riverkilt can make red work for him, but I'm not so sure it works for me.
    The cheapest of e-bay acrylic kilts, a Wallace, as I am going to be cooking and would not want to get grease spilt on one of my better kilts.
    Do come indoors and join us on Christmas day.

    While I prepare the Christmas lunch Ann sits in her chair and watches the Queen's Christmas speech on television.
    Lunch will be served immediately afterwards, starting with Baxter's Scotch Broth.

    Followed by sliced turkey, served with roast potatoes, brussels sprouts and chipolata sausages in bacon wrap.

    Having pulled a cracker each, Ann starts her lunch.
    She is wearing the pendant which her Aunt gave her for Christmas when we met her relatives on Saturday.

    Finished off with steamed Christmas pudding in custard, followed by coffee.

    A merry Christmas to all at Xmarksthescot.
