Hello!

How are you? My parents, my brother and I visit my grandparents on New Year's Eve. They live in Scotland. They celebrate Hogmanay on New Year's Eve. We love Hogmanay!

My granny bakes black bun. It's a fruit cake. It's delicious!

My parents like the Torchlight Procession. We carry a torchlight at night. It's fun! My grandparents prefer the fireballs. We see the fireballs at night. It's incredible!

We see the fireworks on 31st December. They mark the beginning on the new year. Also, we listen to pipe bands. We love music!

What about you? Can you describe Galician and Spanish New Year's Eve traditions?

Bye!
