Unfortunately, I missed out on it this year.Melissa @ Confessions of an Avid Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03320886752332455903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2456802468539868519.post-90076925879315967382012-01-25T12:18:49.305-08:002012-01-25T12:18:49.305-08:00Love the article!

Scottish Burns Night sounds like a great festive evening and not even haggis would scare me off as I happen to like it from the few times I've sampled. Learned some things from your article.

One of my mother's favorite events was a Burns' Night Dinner-A framed print of Burns' portrait hung over the fireplace, Scottish attire was worn, and Burns' poetry was quoted and read. (I think they drew the line at haggis-ingredients probably not available in the area!) At any rate, a fine time was had by all and, by all accounts, the memory is still green!
