HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! or HAPPY HOGMANAY!!!!!
Hogmanay is the Scots word for the last day of the year and is synonymous with the celebration of the New Year in the Scottish manner. It is normally followed by further celebration on the morning of New Year's Day or, in some cases, 2 January — a Scottish bank holiday.
Hogmanay in Scotland-
Scotland, and especially its capital city Edinburgh, puts on a spectacular show for Hogmanay, the Scots' word for the year’s final day. Possibly originating in an ancient Norse winter solstice celebration, present-day Hogmanay offers Edinburgh’s New Year’s Eve revelers quite the party: lines of performers swinging fireballs, long winding torchlight processions, traditional pipe bands, dancing, supping, and an absolutely enormous fireworks display to cap it all off. So popular is this spirited celebration that it made the Guinness Book of World Records as the world’s largest New Year’s Eve party.
You can thank Hogmanay for that most renowned of all New Year’s sing-a-longs: ‘Auld Lang Syne’ was written by Scotland’s own Robert Burns, and the custom of singing the song as the clock strikes midnight was born in his homeland. INFO: Scott Harmon 541-445-9100.
