Burns night is celebrated at the end of January every year, and my husband and I secured tickets to one hosted at our church, that we had long been curious about.

The evening, held in honor of Scotlands most famous poet Robert Burns, included music, drawing for door prizes, a buffet dinner, and prominently featured a rather fine Haggis.
