Then at about quarter past, I'm thinking that the guy hasn't called last orders yet so I'm gonna see if he'll serve me again. I go back to our 'gang' with a huge smile on because I've been served again and they just think I'm a loopy English fella. We stayed out til about 5am that night!!

Didn't think 'warm' and 'Scotland' ever went in the same sentence?

Sounds good to me. I think we may have to pay Edniburgh another visit before we depart the UK.

To be honest, I don't think he/she was singling you out. I was enjoying this post until now. I think you're the only one actually being personal here and would like to add that I believe he/she had some interesting points whether you agree with them or not.
For the record, I'm a fence sitter on the xmas thing. Xmas is a fairly happy time for most people but it does bring with it unnecessary financial and emotional pressures.

Obviously nobody listened. We will be observing the more biblical feast of Hannukah which even the Lord Jesus kept.

Break free and define yourself - give to charity - give to the kids this Xmas!
I would have thought that as a family man you would have taken just a little of what I've said on board without becoming aggressive.

Obviously not and the kids will suffer.
I do agree with you that Christmas should be remembered as a time for giving and every Christmas I always give a couple of presents to the Salvation Army as they always accept presents to give to children who may otherwise have nothing. I also went around the local hospital one year helping them give out presents to the kids that were stuck in hospital over Christmas, anyone who thinks they can cope with any situation should go and do that and try not to come out of there an emotional wreck.

That said I also love Christmas and enjoy spending heaps of time with my family and love the fact that my kids still believe in the magic of Christmas .....just bloody hate the queues fighting for the freshest veg etc etc in the supermarkets and the huge queues due to people thinking the shops close down for a month!!!!!
