Anyone who says that Christmas is all about Mr Claus and his pesky reindeers, or that New Year is merely about watching Scotch and Rye with your Ma and Pa, is a disillusioned little pixie. Or just being a
tad economical with the truth. Let’s be honest, the festive season isn’t about spending your hard-earned dosh on Auntie Jeanie’s must-have polka-dot scarf or your Dad’s new Clannad CD. Hell no. It’s the perfect excuse to make sure your social calendar is plentifully brimming and that your Christmas/New Year aperitif is always ‘half full’. We Scots know how to throw a party, so make sure your name’s on the guest list. Edinburgh and Glasgow have an abundance of epicurean delights just waiting to tantalise your festive taste buds. So don your party outfits people, stock up on Alka-Seltzer and Vitamin C and enjoy the ride. Just don’t forget to leave a wee dram for Santa. (Anna Millar)
