First footing  
I'm not tall (unless you're exceptionally short yourself), I'm not dark (unless you count my sense of humour), and to most of you I'm not much of a stranger, I don't have black bun (because I can't stand the stuff), I don't have coal (because I have a gas fire), I do have some damn fine single malt whisky though - will that do? Allow me to be your First Foot.

(First footing is a good old fashioned tradition to bring in the New Year.)

Ha' a Guid Ne'er!!! (and lang may yer lum reek!)

May 2005 bring you everything you hope it will and more.

I'll first foot your LJ if you don't mind. You can first foot mine if you want.

*kisses you*

You've just been first footed as well! ('scuse me while I go and smile sweetly at my neighbours and ask them nicely to stop letting off the fireworks now...)

It quickly fades, don't worry.

Happy New Year, Sho!

Bit late for the first foot. My brother in Edinburgh has an even worse computer than my mum in Dundee, which I didn't think possible. In fact it's showing every sign of being close to dying a death completely. But anyway, in the spirit of things, *takes deep breath*

*sings raucously and with dubious intonation*

A Guid New Year, tae een and a'
And monie may ye see!
And during a' the years tae come
O happy, may ye be!

And may ye ne'er hae cause tae greet
Tae sigh or shed a tear!
Tae een and a', both great and sma'
A happy, guid New Year!

A Guid New Year, tae een and a'
And monie may ye see!
And during a' the years tae come
O happy, may ye be!
