New Year in the UK usually starts with a celebration on New Year’s Eve (31st
December).Some people spend the evening at home with their family,or have
a party for friends at their house.
Others go to a pub to celebrate,or spend the evening in a large public space,
for example Trafalgar Square in London.
The beginning of the New Year is signified by the chiming of Big Ben,the
famous London clock,at midnight,which is also shown on TV for those who are
staying in.
In Scotland,New Year is called Hogmanay,and for some people,it’s a bigger
celebration than Christmas.In big cities like Edinburgh and Glasgow there are
street parties with around 100,000 people,enjoying music,entertainment
and fireworks at midnight.
One Scottish tradition which is now popular throughout the UK as well as in the
USA,is the singing of a traditional folk song.‘Auld lang syne’,reminds us to
think of old friends and remember the good times of the past,as we look to
the future.
Although New Year’s Eve involves drinking alcohol for many people,New
Year’s Day signals the start of a healthier life,as some people make New
Year’s resolutions.
Often these are connected with fitness and health,for example giving up
smoking or drinking,taking more exercise or losing weight.Other people make
a resolution to improve their life in other ways,such as spending more time
with family,learning something new,or getting out of debt.
Unfortunately,it’s not always easy to stick to your resolutions,especially if
they are related to saving money.The January sales can provide shopaholics
with far too much temptation.
Almost every shop is full of special offers and bargains,which can make it
hard to just go window shopping.
