A Good Old Scottish Christmas

A walk down memory lane with Mrs. Dorothy Mackay as she shares her stories of celebrating Christmas as a child in Scotland, during Word War 2. Filled with exciting details and amusing anecdotes, this article makes me nostalgic as I fondly remember sitting with her as a 10 year old listening to her captivating stories. I'm sure you will also be transported to the Scotland of old as you begin reading. So get yourself a cup of coffee, find a comfy chair and get started! :)
