Scottish christmas kilt

Kilt wearing is not something that is exclusive to special events. That said, it is something that you can do for special occasions to make them even more memorable and personal, people choose to wear a Christmas kilt as a fun and unique way to celebrate the holiday season. There are many standard traditions that carry on through the years which most people observe, and from those come personal family traditions that each household enjoys. For those who live in a house full of Scots or Scottish-descendants, there may be a desire to uphold some Scottish Christmas traditions, and those traditions aren’t too far from what you already do. 

This will make it easy for you to incorporate a few different traditions into the Christmas festival this year without having to change too much. One of the things that Scottish people do that most everyone else does is surround themselves with friends and family to help ring in the season. This is usually done on a chilly night with a fire lit, a tradition that has fallen to the wayside in most modern homes since the invention of central heating. But it is something that you can easily do to keep the tradition alive. Here, you can swap gifts, share meals, have drinks and dress up!

There is a tradition on Christmas day for Scots to remain in their pajamas as a sort of celebration of rest that you get to enjoy after a heavy workload that you have endured in the time leading up to Christmas. Many Scots also do this because they have no intention of leaving the house because of the often inclement weather. But if you want, you can wear a Santa Kilt to celebrate the event.

Mens Kilts can be worn as formally or as casually as you would like. If you want to dress in the Highland dress for the occasion, that is just fine, as it is a holiday.

Christmas Tartan Kilt

You can also go more casual by just wearing a simple shirt with your kilt, and that will still keep you within the traditional dress to celebrate your heritage and Christmas at the same time. While Wearing a Kilt, you can enjoy traditional Scottish Christmas dinner. A lot of times, the Scotch broth & Cock-a-leekie will often be served as a starter for the meal. Dishes that are enjoyed can be turkey, beef or steak pies, Salmon and crackers are always on the table. Usually, Christmas night will end with the family in a single room watching the Queen’s speech, listening to music or enjoying a Christmas movie or two.

With such simple ways to incorporate Scottish Christmas Traditions into your holidays, there is no reason not to if you’d like to. At the very least, you can simply don a kilt to feel closer to your heritage while you celebrate with the family.

Order Christmas gifts before it's too late

There are plenty of gifts that will make a great impression on Christmas Day like ordering your highland wear and telling your partner how important they are. A new sporrans or a new pair of scottish shoes aren’t always the things that men rush out to buy, which make them a great gift for giving. Here are some items that you can get just in time for the special day. Kilts, Jackets, Waistcoats, and all the Kilt Accessories are fabulous gifts at Christmas time.

A tartan tie that matches someone’s kilt could give them a fresh new look when wearing their Christmas kilt outfit. We have seen a huge shift towards ties this year, whether a solid wool tie or a matching tartan tie, they seem to be replacing the ruche tie for formal occasions. Whilst your husband’s kilt may have lasted for decades, sometimes flashes do need replacing to freshen up his highland outfit. We also suggest kilt pins and cufflinks as great gifts, and maybe even as stocking fillers. We can lose these small items all the time, and it is always great to have more than one.

Find the perfect kilts at Scottish Kilts and get it measured perfectly to fit your size so that you are prepared to lounge after the Christmas feast.

Do the Scottish celebrate Christmas?

For 400 years, the Scottish suffered a legal ban from Christmas Celebrations. In the 1950s, however, the magical festivities for the 25th of December were restored. Presently, the Scotts celebrate Christmas, traditionally termed Yules, with the highest of spirits and joy.

What are some Christmas traditions in Scotland?

Like people from all over the world, the Scotts surround themselves with family and friends to partake in the festivities. It is customary for Scottish families to remain in pajamas for the celebrations or perhaps casually incorporate a kilt into the outfit. The day progresses with traditional Scottish meals and the exchange of gifts. Towards the night, families sit together for a Christmas movie or perhaps even the Queen’s speech. 

What is a traditional Scottish Christmas dinner?

A Scottish Christmas Dinner typically begins with a Scotch broth as the starter meal. Next comes the show-stopping roast turkey, a Scottish favorite. However, the turkey may be stuffed as per the family’s preferences. The side dishes may vary between a great many traditionality, glazed hams, steak pies, and cocktail-smoked salmons, to name a few. 

What is Santa Claus called in Scotland?

While most of the British population tends to vote in favor of Father Christmas, the Scotts have a rather simplistic approach here. Neither Father Christmas nor Saint Nicholas, Santa Claus is simply Santa for the people of Scotland.
