Yesterday was St Nicklaus day. Since my son was a boy the doorbell has rung and the wooden shoes he put out were filled with candy etc-every year- even when he was in college this car mysteriously had candy in shoes or boots. Even the past couple of years at his house 30 minutes away. We are big St. Nick fans in this household. The real St Nicklaus is fascinating. Yesterday my wife and I and drove to my son and daughter in laws. St Nick out did himself putting a key in the wooden shoe to a 2024 Tacoma with only 18k miles! My daughter in law conspired, and St Nick “helped” pull one over on him. Her parents came and after the surprise we helped them with their leaves. My first OOTD was my Filson wool hat, my Filson Fieldcoat, Orvis fleece lined khakis, Orvis Gloves, red long sleeve polo, Fermanagh Co. tartan scarf. After the tasks my son’s in laws and we all went to the German Chriskindle market then on to my favorite Irish pub in Tulsa- after that Anita and I rushed home to change. St Nicklaus was the anniversary for my best buddy Tim’s Wedding anniversary. His son Watson chose to celebrate that day for his wedding party. Having lost both his father and grandmother in the same day a month ago and his mother only a year earlier it was a very very special get together. He has been my son’s best friend since they were three and the three bands that played (not including mine) had 16 people with whom together I’ve performed. Night time OOTD was my 1997 Royal blue MTM, a CT white w blue stipe shirt, a two bar bow tie, a Robert Talbot silk waist coat, MacQuarrie tartan kilt, wool cable knit green hose w/ red flashes, AE shell cordovan British tan brogues, Dobbs wool hat, custom leather sporran. 1/3 of crowd in cowboy hats; 1/3 in velvet dresses or suits; 1/3 in kilts. My Buddy Tim would have been very proud. Happy St Nicklaus days brothers (and community sisters) https://www.history.com/articles/santa-claus
