Hogmanay, Day

What's' Hogmanay?' It's.
the Scofflaw: name, for New
Years gVP 4r)4..first foot,
Ing is what they call the
tradition that dictates .cot-
tisl hospitality for. the New
YearT-celebratiOn,
The first person. to cross
the threshold of any house
on .that occasion is sup-
posed to do so bringing' gifts
to his or her ,host gifts of
food or coal, both tolcens of
warmth and .friendliness, In
return, the first-footer re-
Ceives a drink,
But thaVs not all. People
used to compete vigorously
for the honor of being a
first-footer, and ran races
from door to door, Their
hosts might or might, not be
happy to welcome the visi,
tors,. If the first-footer were
o, woman, it meant bad luck
for the year. But it was good
luck if . the . first person
across the threshold were a man, especially one known
to have been born feet fore-
most—still better if he hap-
pened to be dark rather
than fair,
Why the word Hogma-
nay? That's a mystery still
— similar words occur else-
where, but origins are un,
certain, at best.
Know What
"Wassail" Means?
This ancient word, famil-
iar to us from song and
story, comes from the An-
glo-Saxon words "Wes hal"
— which means "be whole,"
or in more modern terms,
"Good Health." It was used
as a toast, before lifting
one's glass — and by exten-
sion came to mean a drink-
ing song.
