sarah, they made us all learn the poem by heart and recite it individually in class when we were seven

I really cannot tell if you're trolling

Seriously, my parents moved to Dundee from Birmingham when I was around 6, we lived there for about 4 years and omg I just found out my primary school was shut down. I had a Scottish accent for a while!
-
I did not know that but also they really did make you learn the poem by heart??
-
Yeah! I remember it because having to learn it by heart and perform it was terrifying when I was ~7!
-
Can confirm this, but I don't think I knew anyone who ever succeeded in actually memorising there poem at that age. So if you did, great job.

has anyone yet told you they also are supposed to stab the haggis at a specific point in the poem?
-
Does that make it a better or worse holiday?
-
To me, definitely better. The one Burns Night I attended involved the guy reciting the poem (VERY DRAMATICALLY), drinking an increasing amount of Scotch before leading up to the dramatic stabbing. It was the best.

In my town there was a butcher who had a trebuchet and tried to make an annual tradition of flinging the haggis over the river but it consistently flung straight into the river so the tradition ended.

And their 3-day long end-of-the-year fire festival. Between that and Burns night they know how to deal with a long, dark winter

In Madagascar there was an annual event in which the bones of ancestors were exhumed, then in a procession, the bones were tossed in the air and asked pertinent questions regarding health and finances.
