    A few kitchen items are needed, sure: but the Christmas shopping list is firmly in mind!

    Gasp! I almost forgot!
    Taking out my Christmas socks immediately, and will have a hot chocolate later. I ordered an advent calendar today without realising it's Rudolph day, so think I've done enough to mark the day :D

    Happy Rudolph Day everyone!

    Doing roast ham, roast veg and roast potatoes with sprouts today, other than turkey and some marrowfat peas close enough to our traditional Christmas dinner. May even open a bottle of red wine too!

    Last Rudolph day of the year!

    Next one won't be until Jan 25th. That tends to be one of the best ones IMO, as I tend to have Christmas treats left over, Christmas programming left on the box to watch so it really feels like a mini Christmas celebration.

    Only 5 short days to the first Rudolph day of 2021. Being a Monday I doubt I'll do much more than wear a pair of my christmas socks & listen to a christmas podcast, though may stretch to defrosting one of my mince pies as well to have with a cup of tea that evening. Exciting stuff eh!? ;)

    When packing away the Christmas decorations, I held back the reindeer and the tartan ribbons, because we use those for Burns Night.

    I'll wear Tartan and of course, there's extra points for a kilt!

    If you can't get yer mitts on a Haggis, a white pudding makes a reasonable substitute - the flavour is really quite similar.
    And of course, the whisky, the speeches and Auld Lang Syne.
    We are doing it at home, just ourselves, and some family on Zoom. But I do have a party piece at the ready.

    Its the one thing that keeps me going through January - the very first Rudolph Day AND Burns Night, together!
    And January is nearly over :-)

    The day when Scots - and others - celebrate the life of Robbie Burns, (their national poet) and eat a haggis, and drink whiskey.

    You must wear tartan in some shape or form: a rug, or a piece of Christmas paper pinned on, will do nicely.
    Any attempt at a kilt gets extra points, I mean, whiskey.

    Robbie Burns was the man who wrote Auld Lang Syne, so you sing that at the end of your celebrations.

    I'll request that the chef cook white pudding tomorrow then :D

    I'm going to watch a Christmas movie tomorrow after work, and I have already decided that for February's Rudolph day, I'll be watching Lampoons on Netflix :D love Rudolph day!

    Oh, that's a great plan for February! :)

    For March, I will make waffles, for waffle day. :D

    April, July and September's Rudolph Day's fall on weekend days, which will be nice.

    Yeah, much better when its not a work day. The last couple of years I've missed a good few through being caught up in the day to day hustle bustle.
