Alexandria Scottish Christmas Walk - 12/6

[Sir William]

I'll be marching with the Appin Stuarts (of the 1745 Rebellion) dressed in great kilts and accoutred with broadswords, dirks, targes, Highland steel pistols, and other cool stuff.

We usually adjourn to Murphy's for a pint (or two) afterward.

I get down there for the parade about every other year. Unfortunately, this is an off year, I'm working dayshift that weekend. It's always a good time. I dye my beard and hair white, wear a Santa hat and play Christmas tunes on the pipes, and have a ball. Hopefully, I'll be able to get back there next year. Next year, if anyone spots "Saint MacNicholas", come up and say hi.
This is a photo of me with #3 grandson at the parade last year.


Fortunately, I've found a local "gig" this year. My Lodge is participating in a "Dickens Night" event in a local town. It runs from 6pm to 10pm, so I'll head over there after work and have some fun.

[O'Callaghan]

Might go as a spectator, but haven't decided.
