Since Valerie has already instructed us in the appropriate holiday greetings, I thought I would
provide a short lesson on a theme intregal to this season........SHOPPING!
 

I am going to the shops!  (Gotta get some of those modern duds for Jamie to wear!)
Tha mi’dol do na buithean
Ha mee doll donnuh boo-yun
 
 

I am looking for.....  (a pair of faded button-fly Levis for Jamie *g*)
Tha mi ‘lorg......
Ha mee lorrock.....
 

We haven’t got that.  (Drat! Guess we’ll have to settle for the tartan boxers then!)
Chan eil sin againn
Chan yil shin ackeen
 

I can’t make up my mind.  (Between the tartan boxers and the thong thingy)
Tha mi eadar da bheachd.
Ha mee eddur dah v-yachk.
 

Buy them both!!    (Jamie would look GREAT in either!)
Ceannaich na dha dhiubh
k-yanneech nuh ghah yoo
 
 

Do you want anything else?  (YEAH!!! I want Jamie under my tree!)
A bheil sibh ag iarraidh cail tuilleadh?
Uh vil shiv ug-ee-urry kahl tool-yugh?
