Animal Planet in a Storage Bucket - Safari by Animal Planet - Shop Online for Toys in Germany All the best for They all had a wee dram at the turning of the Scottish year! Originally a gathering at standing stones to drink to the spirits, it evolved to a celebration around town and village market crosses known as 'Nollaig Beag' Little Christmas. It moved from public places into the home when the Reformation of the Church in the s tried to ban it. One Hogmanay tradition that continues to this day in Scotland is that of 'First Footing'. The first person to cross your doorway after midnight, should be a dark haired man, carrying 'handsel' - offerings of food, drink whiskeya piece of coal to signify the warmth of the hearth all yearand occasionally salt to signify wealth. Another old custom was for men to kiss any female they met in the street, carried on today as a "New Year's Kiss". Fire festivals were common, with burning torches and barrels of tar carried around town on poles. The fire tradition continues today as fireworks in the Americas and the Hawaiian Islands. The famous New Year song was written by Scottish poet Robert Burns in - "Auld Lang Syne" has become an anthem of the turning of the year at midnight. Thursday, December 31st - Hamish finished a commissioned piece of art for the Irish Rovers. Keep an eye on our Gallery page for details of the release soon. The Irish singer commissioned Hamish after seeing his Celtic artwork whilst on Maui earlier this year. The album cover is a piece of folk art entitled 'Gracehill Fair', that George thinks captured the spirit of the title track of the album. It features a traditional Celtic knotwork border and a fairground tent, with Irish musicians, dancers and spectators making merry, like you may see at an Irish country fair, any time in the last century or so. Stephen's Day or Wren Hamish McHaggis and the Clan Gathering in Ireland see below. The weekly show goes live online at www. The day after Christmas is a national Hamish McHaggis and the Clan Gathering in Britain and Canada called Boxing Dayoriginally coming from well-off people giving small gifts, or Christmas boxes, to their servants on the day after Christmas. In Hamish's youth in Britain, Boxing Day was for tipping the regular delivery men at the home during the past year, such as the coal-man, postman and milkman. It was also St. Stephen's Dayand traditional to hunt foxes, squirrels and hares - and also the wren, making it known as Wren Day. The small bird was known as messenger to the underworld, nesting in dark places, including caves and tombs, and killing the bird was a way to ensure the return of the light days of spring. Wren Boys would go round the streets singing wren songs, with the dead bird on a pole! In Cornwall, they would accept money for a lucky wren feather - in Ireland, the Wren Party Hamish McHaggis and the Clan Gathering money or food, so as not to bury the Wren outside folk's homes. Tradition has two tales as to why the wren was hunted. First, a wren is said to have alerted a guard to St. Stephen's escape - another is that twice in Irish history the wren alerted invaders to an Irish ambush - the Vikings, and centuries later, Cromwell's army. An ancient druidic belief is that the wren is the most knowledgeable of all birds, and won its title 'The King of All Birds' in Gaelic tales, by perching on an eagle's back to fly higher than all the other birds. Saturday, December 25th - Happy Christmas! The Winter Solstice was a celebration of the rising of the sun from it's lowest point in the sky, back to longer days and the lighter part of the year. The sleeping earth was heading toward re-awakening. Evergreen trees were seen as a reminder that spring would bring re-birth. Druids ceremoniously cut mistletoe, and offerings were made to the Gods for the return of the Sun. Mistletoe was sacred, and as well as an antidote for poisons had a fertility connection, carried on to this day as the Hamish McHaggis and the Clan Gathering of "kissing under the mistletoe". Hamish and guest Jennifer Fahrni shared music, songs and folklore of the holiday season, Celtic style! They talked about ancient Winter Solstice traditions, Yuletide, and Christmas in the old Celtic lands. The Winter Solstice was celebrated by the ancient Celts see above and many early cultures. In early Christian times, Christmas was celebrated on various dates as ranging from January 1st, and 6th, March 29th, and even September 29th! By the end of the 4th century, Pope Julius 1st set the date as December 25th, where it remained to modern times. Pope Gregory sent Augustine the monk, a future saint, into the Celtic islands, instructing him to build his new churches on sites of the Old Religion, holding Christian celebrations on Pagan Festivals. This was how Christmas melded with older celebrations. The Vikings of Hamish McHaggis and the Clan Gathering Europe celebrated Yuletide with festivals of Fire and Lights, bringing the evergreen conifers, and holly and ivy, into the home to symbolise the eternity of life. In folklore, holly represents the male, and ivy the female - the entwining of both in decorations and wreaths, symbolised harmony and balance in the home. The longest night and the shortest day of the year was a time of renewal of spirit and faith, even in the face of cold and darkness. They were joined by guest performer soprano Katherine Fryer. Maui's newest Celtic music group joined whistle player Kevin O'Kennedy for Hamish McHaggis and the Clan Gathering Irish night on the West side, joined by a visiting bagpiper on holiday.

Friday December 4th - terrible news from Ireland that my friend Liam Clancy passed away today. Hamish and all the Maui fans of Irish music send our deepest sympathy to the Clancy family and friends. Armed with his guitar and beautiful voice, and masterful stagecraft, he spread Irish culture around the world with his songs and stories. Bob Dylan described Liam as the 'best ballad singer in the world'. He left The Clancy Brothers to pursue a solo career but joined old friend Tommy Makem to perform as the famous duo Makem and Clancy until Since then Liam has performed solo and played to packed concert halls backed by Kevin Evans and Paul Grant or Brian Doherty, and had a compilation album high in the Irish charts in His Hamish McHaggis and the Clan Gathering album is the brilliant "Wheels of Life", available at www. This was a remarkable intimate night in Maui from the king of Irish folk music, who in recent years normally played big concert halls. Another surprise was when Liam was Hamish's guest at a Michael Black dinner show at Mulligan's on the Blue in Wailea a Maui Celtic promotionand after a nice introduction from Michael, he joined him on stage for a few songs, and even dragged pipers Hamish and John Grant up for a chorus of "Wild Mountain Thyme"!!

There’s the Feast of the Nativity, aka Christmas, of course. Most celebrate it Dec. 25; others on Jan. 6. Hindus celebrate their 5th day of Pancha Ganapati Dec. 25. There’s Chanukah.
