🎊 Ring in the New Year with Hogmanay! 🎉 Hogmanay is Scotland's exuberant New Year celebration, steeped in history and tradition. While the origins of Hogmanay remain somewhat mysterious, the festivities include street parties, fireworks, and the singing of "Auld Lang Syne," a song that has become synonymous with New Year celebrations worldwide. A notable custom during Hogmanay is "first-footing," where the first visitor to a home after midnight brings gifts to symbolize luck and prosperity for the coming year. This tradition fosters a sense of community and connection as individuals welcome the new year together. To learn more about the customs and history of Hogmanay, patrons can explore a variety of books and online resources that delve into this vibrant celebration. https://miamipl.okpls.org #Hogmanay #NewYears #MoreThanYourGrandmasLibrary #Traditions #HolidaysAroundTheWorld #MiamiPublicLibrary
