Since it is now December 31 in Scotland, and indeed it is also
a bit after midnight here on the Avalon peninsula of Newfoundland,
Hogmanay Blessings to any readers, partly in memory of my
maternal grandmother Mary Walker.

Some may be interested in my thread “New Year’s checklist”
just on alt.magick where I am trying to make it a day
“when pigs fly” (although I know that the name Hogmanay
is not really related to pigs, but I like wordplay).

According to Wikipedia Hogmanay is often extended to the
morning of January 1, and sometimes even to the bank
holiday January 2. But since January 2 is a Saturday, is
te the bank holiday Monday? In that case it could be an
extended Hogmanay from Thursday to Monday. :-)
