New Years Eve
Festive Occasion
For Native Scots
Christmas never aroused much en-
thusiasm in Scotland—hut on New
Year's Eve the Wassail bowl goes
around, filled with a savory liquid
nostalgically fragrant.
Floating atop the Wassail bowl, ap..
ples stir memories of the .apple-howl-
ing when boys switched the trunks of
fruit trees petitioning "a good howl-
ing crop": somehow, the "lamb's wool"
(as the decoction of the Wassail bowl
is often called) seems reminicent of
young folks running to the nearest
spring at the stroke of 12 to drink
the "cream of the well"—the first one
so doing, might expect good luck dur-
ing the coming year.
Handsel Monday—the Monday after
New Years, is traditionally the "big
day" for Scotch boys and girls, and in
addition to being the Scotch day of
gift giving, it is a day of feasting and
gaiety.
Small wonder• that families and
friends gather New Year's eve to
"Drink a cup of kindness yet
For Auld Lang Syrie.t"
