Despite having an Irish mother, I have no idea what that was

Apart from Slainte

Scots gaelic is slightly different from Irish, but if she spoke the old-language, then she would know exactly what it meant!

"thank you - good health to you!"

I have my official translator here, and she says she is not that old....

Alledgedly, Thank you in Irish Gaelic is "Go raibh maith agat"

Gaelic, that makes Spanish look easy

I didn't say SHE was old!

My Scots interpretation of "go raibh maith agat" is "a thousand thanks to you", but I won't argue with your ma (she's Irish and I'm not!).

I do know that Caed Mile Failte roughly translates to "100,000 welcomes" - we have it in the hall

I know you didn't say she was old, I did, and got a clip round the ear for it

Christmas = Yule, the pagan mid-winter festival.
Easter = Eostre, the pagan springtime festival.

Not quite sure which religion we're worshiping here...
