While most of us celebrate New Year's Eve, what country celebrates "Hogmanay"?

If you thought New Year's Eve in Times Square was crazy, you've never been to Hogmanay in Scotland. Celebrating New Year's Eve in the "Scottish manner" includes the practice of first-footing, beginning upon the stroke of midnight. By crossing the threshold of a friend's home, bringing symbolic gifts, you deliver what type of luck that friend will have for the rest of the year. Choose your gift wisely (black buns, shortbread, whiskey, and coal are favorites), as they all imply different types of luck.
