First of all, Happy Christmas and season's greetings.
It's a very calm day in Stornoway, hardly a breath of wind although it is cloudy.
In years gone by, Christmas was not even recognised as a public holiday in the island.

I have found evidence that business was conducted in Lewis on December 25th in the 1950s.

Last night, I attended a Watch Night service in St Columba's in Lewis Street here in Stornoway. Although it started at 11.20pm, the church was packed out, and people continued to arrive until well after the advertised starting time for the service. We went through a varied selection of carols from the Church of Scotland Hymnal, and were treated to the almost compulsory reading of chapter 2 from St Luke's Gospel. As the congregation was singing another carol, the lights were switched off. The last 3 lines of the relevant carol were sung in virtual darkness, it was too dark to read the lines in the hymnal. Then the minister announced that a child was born and light returned. We were invited to wish each other Merry Christmas, and not just to those on either side of us. There are also people behind and in front of you. So, the handshakes and the kisses flew round. It took a fair few minutes for the church to file out into the street at 12.15 a.m.
