Today Is Hogmanay!

!!!Today is Hogmanay!!!

 

Today I will tell you what Hogmanay is!

 

So lets get started!!!

 

Hogmanay is the Scots word for the last day of the year and is synonymous with the celebration of the New Year in the Scottish manner.
Nobody knows for sure where the word 'Hogmanay' came from. It may have originated from Gaelic or from Norman-French
Historically, Christmas was not observed as a festival and Hogmanay was the more traditional celebration in Scotland. The winter solstice holiday tended to be at New Year when family and friends gathered for a party and exchange presents, especially for the children.
‘The Bells’ is the phrase used to describe the midnight hour when New Year's Eve becomes New Year's Day.
Burns’ ‘Auld Lang Syne’ is sung to celebrate the start of the New Year at the stroke of midnight, not just in Scotland but in many English-speaking countries.
The Guinness Book of World Records lists ‘Auld Lang Syne’ as one of the most frequently sung songs in English. The song is sung or played in many movies, from ‘It's a Wonderful Life’ to ‘When Harry Met Sally.’

So lets sing ‘Auld Lang Syne’ and enjoy the bells!!!

 

Here is the song‘Auld Lang Syne’-

 

 

!!!Happy Hogmanay!!!

Its boxing day!!!!!

Hello and today is boxing day!!!!

 

Here are some facts about boxing day....

 

Despite its name, Boxing Day, which is celebrated on December 26 in Great Britain, has nothing to do with pugilistic competition. Nor is it a day for people to return unwanted Christmas presents. While the exact origins of the holiday are obscure, it is likely that Boxing Day began in England during the Middle Ages.

Some historians say the holiday developed because servants were required to work on Christmas Day, but took the following day off. As servants prepared to leave to visit their families, their employers would present them with gift boxes.

 

Boxing Day is December 26, the day after Christmas, and is celebrated in Great Britain and in most areas settled by the English (the U.S. is the major exception), including Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.

 

Boxing Day is just one of the British bank holidays recognized since 1871 that are observed by banks, government offices, and the post office. The others include Christmas, Good Friday, Easter, Whitmonday (the day after Pentecost), and the banking holiday on the last Monday in August.

 

I hope you learned lots about boxing day!!!

3D CHRISTMAS TREE

Fold a piece of green construction paper in half, then cut it in half.

Put the two pieces together, and fold them in half again.

Draw half a Christmas tree opposite the fold.

Cut along the line - you should get two identical trees.Fold the trees in half, just barely creasing the center line (this is to mark the center of the tree).

Cut a slit along the bottom half of the center of one tree and along the top half of the center of the other tree.

Slip the two trees together along the slits.Using clear tape, tape the bottoms and tops together (pieces of tape on the bottom and at the top make the tree stand up well and stop the slit ends from flopping over).

Decorate your tree with crayons, markers, glitter glue, or tempera paint. Or you can glue on tiny construction paper decorations or use star stickers. You can cut out tiny paper balls using a hole punch.Now you have a really nice 3-dimensional Christmas decoration.

Optional: cut out a small construction paper star and cut a tiny slit in it. Put the star on the top of the tree (and secure it with some tape).
