Interesting! I always like a touch of tartan amongst the Christmas decorations … the pageant in our state capital always has at least one pipe band marching along with the floats, and my parents were friends with members of a band. was always fun to pick out the familiar faces!

Our local pageant was last night, so there are not many sleeps left before Christmas day.
