@=51N SCOTLAND New Years
NlEONE4OlH day has even more impor
UISSRSlN tance than Christmas. High
NhSHElO land laddies form process
sions and go from house to
house singing and receiv-
ing food and gifts. From Scotland
also comes the curious superstition
that it is unlucky TO take anything
out of the house on New Years day
before. one has brought something in;
hence members Of the family may be
seen carrying a piece of coal or any
small object into the house, to prevent
misfortune during the new year.
A quaint New Year custom in Her
fordshire, England, is to weave black
thorn into a crown, SINCE 1t slightly
over a fire and stand around it repeat
ing the words, "Old Cider" The
crown is then hung up for luck during
the year.
The wassail bowl or loving cup
filed with spiced ale, was in use in
New Year celebrations in Old World
countries, and children would go
about the streets caroling.
Tn England December 25 was the
New Years day until the time of Will
Iam the Conqueror. His coronation
occurred January 1, hence the year
was ordered to begin on that day.
England, however. gradually fell into
unison with the rest of Christendom,
and began the year the 25th of March.
The Gregorian calendar restored jan
nary / as the gateway of the year but
n was not until 1852 that England
adopted this date.
The custom Of exchanging New Year
oresents still holds in France and the
Latin countries.
