New Year Traditions in Britain
The First-FootVery old custom of “first footing” is still
followed in Britain. “First foot” is the first
person to cross the threshold of a home
on New Year’s Day and a bringer of good
fortune for the coming year. Preferably
the male visitor would be a young,
handsome, dark-haired, healthy male.
New Year Symbols
One of the most widely known symbols of
New Year’s Eve is the image of the Clock
Tower at the Palace of Westminster, in
London, counting down the last minutes
of the old year. The first chimes of Big
Ben, the bell housed in the Clock Tower,
in the new year are broadcast live on
radio and television.
This is followed by a
spectacular fireworks performance, often
centered on the London Eye, which is
claimed to be the largest Ferris wheel in
Europe.
New Year ResolutionsNew Year in Great Britain is also a time
to
make New Year Resolutions. A New Year
Resolution is a commitment to change a
habit or engage in a healthier lifestyle.
Typical New Year Resolution’s include
giving up smoking, losing weight, vowing
to get fitter or saving money.
However,
many of these resolutions, made in a
flush of alcohol and partying, are not kept
for very long and are apt to be repeated
year after year!
