A few years ago, Ivy began a birthday tradition — “a good ol’ Scottish custom that has stood the test o’ time.” After making a wish and blowing out her birthday candles, Ivy asks everyone to join her in singing a round of a traditional Scottish song titled “Just a wee deoch an’ doris.”
Or, as Lynne calls it, “Just a wee dunkin’ donuts”!
In Gaelic, “Deoch an doris” means a drink at the door — a last drink before saying farewell. It’s one of Ivy’s favourites, so make sure you join her as she fills her cup and sings!
