    Giving thanks to XMarks

    Today in the United States is Thanksgiving Day. While we should be grateful for our blessings all year, today most Americans are more likely to express those feelings. I would like to express my gratitude for this forum, and the many good friends I have found here, most of whom I haven't met yet! You have helped me in wearing my kilts with a bit more flair than I would have otherwise. More importantly, you have helped me live my life with a bit more flair than I would have otherwise.

    So I thank the Good Lord for this place and its inhabitants.

    Amen Geoff, I'd like to second your sentiments. Without XMarksTheScot I'd be floundering when it comes to "proper" kilting. I too have met many kind and thoughtful folks on here from all over the world that I would not have had the chance to otherwise.

    I too would like to extend my thanks to the many members of this site. Despite being a new member, I have been reading for a little over a year or so and have benefited greatly from the wisdom, hospitality, and openness of the rabble that congregate here. Without you, I might have avoided this addiction.

    And besides the fun from this forum, there is the wealth of information on just about anything kilt related!

    I would like to give thats for what I have, when so many have so little.
    I would also like to thank everyone here who have given me guidance & assistance. Without you, I wouldnt be the well dressed I am today.

    Yes, thanks to all on this site. I just received my copy of The Art of Kilt making and my son and my sporrans are nearing completion thanks to the many threads on the subjects. Thank you all and Happy Thanksgiving.

    Absolutely to everything that Geoff said - I have never met most of you in person, but I count all of you friends!
