2023 Burns Night
Our group of ex-pats and descendants of the clans likes to alternate Hogmanay and Burns Night celebrations since they are so close together (Dec. 31 and January 25 respectively).
Even years we celebrate Hogmanay. In 2024 we're taking a group trip to Edinburgh, Scotland, UK instead of staying stateside.
Odd years we celebrate Burns Night. In 2023 it will be January 25th. Notes on the foods:
Our group has grown (71 of us) and now we have to order three of the 5 lb presentation haggis (wee yins).
Several of the ladies have perfected the making of Cranachan and Clootie Dumplings for the dessert.
Neeps, tatties, and whiskey will also be present in abundance along with the traditional recitations of Burns' writings to round out the evening.
