I hope you all paid strict attention to the Scots pagan requirements of last evening’s ringing in of the New Year. These are a few of my grannie’s requirements:
- replace all salt in the house,
- change all bed sheets,
- rotate all clocks forward 12 hours
- kick the tallest darkest haired man out of the house before midnight and have him return with gifts immediately after midnight,
- keep going until you drop – my grandfather fell asleep at a tee off on the 4th of January or so many years ago
Oh, yea, one more thing – don’t forget to burn something big.
