That's why we are going to know more about British holidays today.

P: After Christmas there is a last festival of the old year or the first one of the new year – New Year’s Eve. In Scotland they called it Hogmanay. All round the country people have parties. In Trafalgar Square in London there is always a really big party.

There is a funny tradition connected with the New Year: The First Foot. This is the first visitor to enter a house on N Y's morning. He is a person of great importance. The First Foot must be a man because it is believed that if a woman first sets foot in the house, bad luck will follow throughout the year. Traditionally, the first visitor of the year must carry food, drink and coal into the house. Coal helps to make a fire in midwinter and there shall never be lack of food and drink during the coming year.
