Traditions and Customs Every nation and every country have their own customs and traditions. In Britain traditions play a more important part in the life of the people than in other countries. Holidays are especially rich in old traditions and are different in Scotland, Wales, Ireland and England. Christmas is a great English national party, and Scotland it is not kept at all, except by clerks in banks; all the shops and factories are working. But six days later, on the New Year’s Eve the Scotch begin to enjoy themselves. All the shops and factories are closed on New Year’s Day. People invite their friends to their houses and “sit the Old Year out and the New Year in” When the clock begins to strike twelve, the head of the family goes to the front door, opens it wide and holds it until the last stroke. Then he shuts the door. He has let the Old Year out and the New Year in. Now greetings and small presents are offered.
