New Year's Eve New Year's Eve is the last day of the year, 31 December. It's one of the biggest party nights of the year all around the UK. The celebrations start in the early evening as people get together with family and friends. In many cities, people go out to watch fireworks displays or light shows at midnight. Just after midnight, it's traditional to link arms with the people around you and sing a song called 'Auld Lang Syne', which is about remembering your old friends. New Year's Eve in London The biggest fireworks display in England is in central London. Many people go to Big Ben, the famous clock tower, to hear it ring 12 times at midnight and then watch the fireworks over the River Thames. New Year in Scotland In Scotland, New Year celebrations are called 'Hogmanay'. The biggest Hogmanay celebration is in Edinburgh, the country's capital city. There are music concerts, street performers and fireworks. In fact, it is one of the largest street parties in the world! In Scotland, many people also have a tradition called 'first-footing'. The 'first foot' is the first person to visit your house in the new year, and the first foot is said to bring you luck for the whole year. To do this, they bring a lucky gift, such as coal for the fire, food to eat or coins. According to tradition, tall, dark-haired men bring the most luck. FULL TEXT ->
