 We bought real Scottish kilts to wear at the upcoming Burns' Night celebrations but couldn't wait till then to wear them. Och!
 Speaking of traditions, Nick always gets a sugar mouse in his stocking. NMouseRS  
 GStockingRS  I got a stocking too - full of Reece's cups, a Slinky, a comic book, Hershey's kisses, and other American treats.

   NMaggie2RS
Nick's mystery gift was an autograph from Maggie Smith.

   BNextRS
This photo was taken on December 27th at 6.20 in the morning at the Next sale. We each bought shirts, ties, cufflinks, and accessories for half their usual price.

Most of Nick's friends are named Dave. Here's two of them now.
