New Years--Hogmanny in Scotland--is generally celebrated by having family prayers for a wholesome new year, sharing a small glass of fine aged scotch, and going to bed early. Special food includes vinegar crisps and mars bars. It is said that someScots skip the prayers, and have a second or third scotch, which they won't necessarily have shared. And they might hit the sack just a wee bit late.

New Year's Eve, and the celebrations which attach to it, is known as Hogmanay in Scotland. Note, this is not the "New Year" itself.
