What do people do?


Hogmanay celebrations generally begin in the afternoon or evening of New
Year's Eve
and continue into early hours of the New Year's Day
morning. Some family gatherings or private celebrations organized by groups of
friends may continue through to January 2.

In some areas, the custom of first footing continues on January 2. First
footing refers to when someone is the first person to enter a house on January
1. For many people in Scotland, January 2 is a day to recover from the Christmas
and Hogmanay celebrations or to spend some quiet time with friends or family
members before returning to work on January 3.



Public life


January 2 is not a bank or public holiday in England, Wales and Northern
Ireland. However, January 1 and 2 are bank holidays in Scotland. Banks and post
offices are closed. There may be limited public transport services or none at
all. Some stores and businesses may be closed.

If either or both of January 1 and 2 fall on a Saturday or Sunday, the bank
holidays are moved to the next week days. For instance, if January 1 falls on a
Saturday and January 2 on a Sunday, the bank holidays are moved to January 3 and
4.



Background


The Hogmanay celebration origins can be traced to pre-Christian observances
in mid-winter. These included large fires to tempt the sun back to earth, as
well as feasts of the food gathered and harvested in the autumn. Hogmanay was
traditionally a more important celebration than Christmas in Scotland but the
importance of Christmas
recently increased.



Symbols


Fires are burnt during Hogmanay. This is a tradition from the pre-Christian
winter celebrations. In Stonehaven, Kincardineshire, fire balls are made of tar,
paper and wire attached to a chain or non-flammable rope. The balls are lit and
swung around people's heads in a procession. At the end of the evening, burning
balls are thrown into the harbor. In Burghead, Moray, the clavie (a
barrel filled with of tar and old casks) is burnt on January 11, the old
Hogmanay date.

Popular Hogmanay dishes include: steak pie; lamb or beef stew; shortbread and
cheese; Scotch pancakes (small, thick pancakes cooked on a griddle)
with butter or smoked salmon; rumbledethumps (boiled potatoes and
swedes or turnips mashed with stir fried cabbage and oven-baked); and
seven-cup pudding (steamed pudding with dried fruit and spices).
Whiskey is a popular drink.

People traditionally ate black bun on Twelfth Night (January 6) but it is now
eaten on the last day of Hogmanay. Black bun consists of a pastry case filled
with nuts, spices and dried fruit soaked in brandy. It is often made a few weeks
ahead to allow the flavors to mature.
