5. Die Hard
So, a holiday story for the Yard:
My wife's family is of Scottish ancestry (Clan Gunn) & my late father-in-law loved going to the Scottish Games to hear the bagpipe bands. The first Friday in December, we went Christmas shopping & in the afternoon, watched the Hallmark movie "A Very Scottish Christmas". In the evening we went on a pub crawl with the final stop at Concentric Brewing in Portland. My wife (Mrs, Coors Light) decided to order the house stout in honor of her dad. Then, pipers & drummers began trickling into Concentric, The Middletown P.B.A. Piipe & Drum Corps had been performing at Middletown's Christmas lighting ceremony & decided to have a nightcap together.
The bandleader came over to our table & said that he hoped we didn't mind, but the band wanted to set up in front of us & play a set. Wifey was thrilled, We had front row seats. I turned to her and said "Poppy is saying Merry Christmas from Heaven..."
