A Traditional Scottish Christmas!


Decorations: Most homes in Scotland tended to hang evergreens, holly with berries being a must!. Some decorate their trees with bows made from different clan tartans. The tree top varies from a teddy bear dressed in tartan, to a large tartan bow, a simple star, or the traditional fairy and there is stockings or pillowcases suspend from a fireplace mantel as well as candles in a window to light the way for travelers.


Music: For years the most traditional music came from musicians such as Jimmy MacLeod and his band, whether you want a sing along, a dance or just background music, this has always been a must for a Scottish Christmas parties! But, as we all know, over the years taste in music has changed and varies much, so be prepared and have a nice selection on hand!


The Menu: A spectacular and beautifully set table for Christmas Dinner is a sight to cherish. Make sure the Christmas Crackers are included, these have been a long standing family tradition in my clan. The "wee bang" when pulled, sends an exciting feeling throughout the room, not to mention what comes from within, normally a little party hat, a trinket, a little joke and a wee toy.


Starters: Soup! it has to be a good bowl of home made soup, and my Mother certainly knows how to make that. A nice bowl of lentil soup goes down well on a cold Christmas day!


Main Dish The roast turkey is still probably the most popular, but we always have a chicken included. To compliment the turkey/chicken, there is naturally some sage and onion stuffing, mashed and roasted potatoes, chipolata sausages, brussel sprouts, some sweet peas, carrots, cranberry jelly, and last but not least, a nice bowl of home made gravy!


Dessert: What would Christmas be without the Traditional Scottish Christmas Pudding, served with brandy butter, rum sauce, custard or fresh cream. Some have been known to add Vanilla Ice Cream!


Always Available: Mince Pies, Christmas Cake, Shortbread, Yule Log cake,Tablet, Fruit and Nuts, and Chocolate are always up for grabs throughout the festive period!


Drinks: Normally left to each individual, whether it is a soft drink or alcohol, a nice well stocked drinks cabinet is a must, however a nice bottle of wine is served throughout the main meal.
