New Year in
Great Britain
In Wales, the back door releases the
Old Year at the first stroke of
midnight: it is then locked "to keep
the luck in", and at the last stroke
the New-Year is let in at the front.
It is commonly believed that New Year's Day is
less important in England than Christmas. It is
true in the southern and eastern parts of the
country. However, even there, the welcoming of
the New Year is growing in popularity,
particularly among younger people who prefer to
spend Christmas with kin, but New Year with
friends. New Year's parties go all night through.
The most famous places of
festivities are Piccadilly
Circus and Trafalgar
Square in London where
crowds of people greet the
New Year with the linked-
arm singing of "Old Lang
Syne", kissing total
strangers, blowing whistles
and automobile horns and
shooting firecrackers.
Someone usually falls into
the fountain in Trafalgar
Square.
Unfortunately for all these midnight
celebrators, January 1st is not a
public holiday in England.
In Scotland, New Years celebration is the
greatest festival of the year, where it even
has a special name, Hogmanay. Nobody,
however, can successfully explain where
this word comes from. After midnight people
visit their friends. They carry cakes and
spiced ale to wish their hosts a good year.
The first visitor, must bring a special
present — a piece of coal — to wish
good luck and warmth to the
house. This is an old Scottish
custom.
The first footer may also
bring a loaf of white
bread and a bottle of
whisky, On entering he
must place the coal on
the fire, put the loaf on
the table, and pour a
glass for the head of
the house, all normally
without speaking or
being spoken to until
he wishes everyone "A
Happy New Year". He
may also carry a silver
coin to wish wealth.
