stornoway, where real christmas' occur

I just got off the phone with Yo! I got the recap of his New Year's and Christmas trips. New Year's seemed boring (for me, at least) in comparison to his trip to Stornoway for Christmas. The friend he's staying with in Scotland is originally from there and he accompanied her home for Christmas. It is city located on the Isle of Lewis off the west coast of northern Scotland. He had a nice flight in a plane that would only accommodate 16 people. But the real shocker was that at the parties and bar he'd go to, he'd be one of the soberer ones.

Oh, some people would meet him, realize he's an American and ask WTF?! was he doing there. With the 50 MPH winds being regular and the temperatures under 50°, I can see why. I'm sure it is a great place but definitely not a place I'll be booking my Christmas anytime soon.
