Right now, he and J are having a Family Guy session, so I'm left to amuse myself!<BR/><BR/>PQ - that does very accurately sum up their attitude to life!<BR/><BR/>V - you are correct! In fact, I think Hogmanay specifically means New Year's Eve rather than New Year. Resident Scots definitely don't say just "Hogmanay" to each other; they call the day Hogmanay but wish each other Happy New Year.<BR/><BR/>Still, far be it from me to contradict your aunt and mom! Sounds as though it's a family tradition by now.Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14530845147391401083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11449131.post-53373968088175288202009-01-01T19:21:00.000+00:002009-01-01T19:21:00.000+00:00All right, being a true Scot (instead of a watered...All right, being a true Scot (instead of a watered-down fifth-generation transplant like me) could you tell me something? My Aunt and my Mom both just say "Hogmanay!" for "Happy New Year." Is that right? 'Cause doesn't "Hogmanay" mean "New Year?"<BR/><BR/>Just curious.--Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11551207516174210115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11449131.post-74520360548354990742009-01-01T15:15:00.000+00:002009-01-01T15:15:00.000+00:00This has nothing to do with this entry, but have y...This has nothing to do with this entry, but have you seen this vid? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ub3sX3praGE It features a guinea pig, so I thought of you :)Jennette Fuldahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16472979135701418121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11449131.post-74629597578502789002009-01-01T09:38:00.000+00:002009-01-01T09:38:00.000+00:00Hello.
