Hey, Burns himself couldn't spell anything right, so I think it's (literally) poetic justice! Bruce M.Tindall 10:58, 7 May 2008 (CDT)

Huh--I can believe that New Year's Day is most commonly celebrated, but New Year's Eve? Got a source for that claim? --Larry Sanger 08:20, 7 May 2008 (CDT)

Does anyone have a reference to the origin of "ringing in the New Year"? I assume it is due to campanologists ringing the church bells on New Year's Eve. Also, thinking aloud, first-footing should be mentioned in this article since it has long traditions, especially in Scotland. Chris Day 10:44, 7 May 2008 (CDT)
