0:00:02 > 0:00:03Hey, Tig!
0:00:03 > 0:00:06# I love Woolly and Woolly loves me
0:00:06 > 0:00:09# We've been together since we were wee
0:00:09 > 0:00:11# We play hide and we play run
0:00:11 > 0:00:14# We have plenty, plenty fun
0:00:14 > 0:00:17# He's my spider cuddly toy
0:00:17 > 0:00:19# He's my clever, woolly boy
0:00:19 > 0:00:22# I love Woolly and Woolly loves me
0:00:22 > 0:00:26# We've been together since we were wee. #
0:00:26 > 0:00:29Hogmanay.
0:00:29 > 0:00:33When I was little, we had summer and my birthday,
0:00:33 > 0:00:37and snowballs and Christmas!
0:00:37 > 0:00:39I liked Christmas the best.
0:00:42 > 0:00:47- Ohhh!- What I really liked was that after Christmas,
0:00:47 > 0:00:50we went to stay with my granny. Woolly came too.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54Mummy, Daddy and me slept in the sitting room.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57I slept on a blow-up bed.
0:00:57 > 0:01:01Mummy and Daddy slept on the sofa.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04It grew into a bed.
0:01:04 > 0:01:09It was exciting staying at Granny's after Christmas.
0:01:09 > 0:01:15One morning Mummy said, "Tig, it's a very special day today.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17"Do you know what day it is?
0:01:17 > 0:01:18"It's Hogmanay."
0:01:18 > 0:01:20What's Hogmanay?
0:01:20 > 0:01:23Hogmanay is the very last day of the year.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26'Hogmanay is the very last day of the year.'
0:01:26 > 0:01:29So that means no more days in the universe?
0:01:29 > 0:01:31'So no more days?
0:01:31 > 0:01:36'There'll be lots more days because tomorrow will be New Year.'
0:01:36 > 0:01:39There'll be more days. We've got the whole year!
0:01:39 > 0:01:40- It's exciting.- Yeah.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44I didn't like it being the last day. I liked THIS year!
0:01:44 > 0:01:47When we went into the town,
0:01:47 > 0:01:50it was so exciting.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52It was like a big party.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54There was a funfair in the streets.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58With a big wheel,
0:01:58 > 0:02:00and a carousel.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Everything looked magic.
0:02:02 > 0:02:08I knew that everywhere, Hogmanay was a special day!
0:02:08 > 0:02:10Hogmanay was fun.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12Everyone seemed so happy.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16No-one seemed to mind it was the last day.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20When it got dark, there was a big procession.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22With fire torches!
0:02:22 > 0:02:25A band played with bagpipes.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28Bagpipes!
0:02:28 > 0:02:32When we got home, Granny had made steak pie.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Steak pie - my favourite!
0:02:34 > 0:02:36It was so good!
0:02:38 > 0:02:40'Is it still Hogmanay, Mummy?'
0:02:40 > 0:02:43- Is it still Hogmanay, Mummy?- Yes, it is, Tig. Isn't that exciting?
0:02:43 > 0:02:46Daddy, look!
0:02:46 > 0:02:47When it was bedtime,
0:02:47 > 0:02:50Mummy said, "Tig, tonight you're
0:02:50 > 0:02:53"going to sleep in Granny's bed. Isn't that exciting?"
0:02:53 > 0:02:57Why am I sleeping in Granny's bed?
0:02:57 > 0:03:01Because Hogmanay goes long into the night and that's when you...
0:03:01 > 0:03:04'Because Hogmanay is a very long day.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07'Then Granny came in with a little tree.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11'This is my special Hogmanay wish tree.'
0:03:11 > 0:03:14Because this is my special Hogmanay wishing tree.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17Everybody has to make a wish,
0:03:17 > 0:03:21once you've made your wish, you pop a fairy onto the tree.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24"What do I wish, Granny?" I said.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26What wish?
0:03:26 > 0:03:30Well, you could wish for something good to happen in the New Year.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32"I don't know," I said.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35I don't know, Gran.
0:03:35 > 0:03:36Well, you think about it.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40That's your wee fairy to pop on the tree.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44"You have to think," said Granny. I was sad.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46I didn't want a New Year.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49Wheee!
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Hi, Tig, no need to be sad.
0:03:51 > 0:03:55Hogmanay might be the last day of one year,
0:03:55 > 0:03:59but tomorrow is the first day of a brand-new year.
0:04:01 > 0:04:05- But what about this year? - This year will always be there
0:04:05 > 0:04:10as happy memories of summer and snowballs and your birthday
0:04:10 > 0:04:11and Christmas.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15But tomorrow will be a new year when you can look forward to summer
0:04:15 > 0:04:20and snowballs and your birthday and Christmas all over again.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Yippee!
0:04:22 > 0:04:26That's why everyone is so excited and happy.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30Everyone is looking forward to the New Year.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33And what it will bring.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36So, go for it, Tig! Don't be sad.
0:04:36 > 0:04:37Whoops!
0:04:37 > 0:04:41Make a wish for a happy and exciting New Year.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44"Yes," I thought, "I love Hogmanay!"
0:04:44 > 0:04:49But I'll make a wish for a happy new year where we can have summer,
0:04:49 > 0:04:53snowballs, and my birthday and Christmas!
0:04:53 > 0:04:55All over again.
0:04:56 > 0:05:01Before I went to sleep, Auntie Shonagh came in.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04Hi, Tig. I just came to put my wish on the wishing tree.
0:05:04 > 0:05:05Where's Clive?
0:05:05 > 0:05:08"Where's your boyfriend, Clive?" I said.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11He's not here, I'm afraid.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14I wish he was.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16Are you going to wish for that?
0:05:16 > 0:05:19"Why don't you wish for him?" I said.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21Yes, I think I might.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24"Maybe I shall," said Auntie Shonagh.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26I've made my wish.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29And popped the fairy on the tree.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33Shonagh and Mummy kissed me night-night.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37"When you wake up, Tig," said Mummy, "it will be New Year's Day."
0:05:37 > 0:05:40In the morning it's going to be New Year's Day.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44I closed my eyes so my wish would come quickly.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51When I woke it was dark.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58I heard music.
0:05:58 > 0:06:03I looked into Granny's sitting room. Mummy and Daddy were dancing.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Shonagh was playing her fiddle.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Oh, Tig. Sorry, Tig.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Is it New Year yet?
0:06:09 > 0:06:12"Is it New Year?" I said.
0:06:12 > 0:06:16"No, it's still Hogmanay," said Mummy.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18"Granny's having a wee party."
0:06:18 > 0:06:19Come and join in.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21We'll get the food, Mum.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24My wish hadn't come true.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27"Is Clive here?" I said to Auntie Shonagh.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31- Is your boyfriend Clive here? - No, I'm afraid not.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33DING DONG
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Ooh, maybe that's Clive now, Shonagh.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39When Shonagh went to the door she didn't come back with
0:06:39 > 0:06:42boyfriend Clive...
0:06:42 > 0:06:44It's Tam.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47Shonagh came back with a man I didn't know.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50Tam comes from next door, Tig.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53He's got a wonderful singing voice.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56Shonagh wasn't happy. I wasn't happy.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59# All for Mhairi's wedding... #
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Our wishes hadn't come true.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05Hi, Tig, some wishes can take a long time,
0:07:05 > 0:07:11- especially when you wake up in the night.- But my wish hasn't come true.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15You wished for a happy and exciting New Year,
0:07:15 > 0:07:19but you have to wait for New Year to arrive first.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23New Year can't happen just like that.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27We have to wait until it is exactly the right time.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29New Year will arrive
0:07:29 > 0:07:34when all the clocks strike 12 o'clock midnight tonight.
0:07:34 > 0:07:42But hey, whee! Hogmanay makes the waiting fun. So go for it, Tig.
0:07:42 > 0:07:47Join in Granny's Hogmanay party and it won't be long before
0:07:47 > 0:07:51Hogmanay turns into New Year.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Hooray!
0:07:53 > 0:07:58"Yes," I thought. "Hogmanay makes the waiting for New Year fun!"
0:07:58 > 0:08:02# ..off we go, heel for heel, and toe for toe... #
0:08:02 > 0:08:06Granny and me and Shonagh danced together.
0:08:06 > 0:08:11Then Mummy and Daddy came in with some party food. Haggis!
0:08:11 > 0:08:13The haggis.
0:08:13 > 0:08:19The haggis looked funny. Suddenly Daddy said, "It's nearly New Year."
0:08:19 > 0:08:21It's nearly midnight.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Ten, nine...
0:08:23 > 0:08:26We all counted backwards.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28..two, one! Happy New Year!
0:08:28 > 0:08:32Happy New Year! Everyone kissed and hugged.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35Outside fireworks shot up all over the place.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38DING DONG
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Then the doorbell rang.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44It was Clive!
0:08:44 > 0:08:50Auntie Shonagh was so pleased. Granny was pleased too
0:08:50 > 0:08:53when Clive gave her a lump of coal.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57This will bring us luck.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01I showed Woolly to Clive to say happy New Year.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03It's only a toy spider.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06# Should auld acquaintance... #
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Then Tam from next door sang.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11# And never brought to mind...
0:09:11 > 0:09:15# Should auld acquaintance be forgot
0:09:15 > 0:09:17# And auld lang syne... #
0:09:17 > 0:09:20Woolly sang too.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24# Remember all the friends you have
0:09:24 > 0:09:28# And all the things you've done
0:09:28 > 0:09:33# Remember all the friends you have
0:09:33 > 0:09:37# And all the fun to come. #
0:09:38 > 0:09:41Auntie Shonagh and Clive were happy.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45All our Hogmanay wishes had come true.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47It was New Year.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50We'd have summer and snowballs and birthdays
0:09:50 > 0:09:54and Christmas all over again. And I loved Woolly.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57# I love Woolly and Woolly loves me
0:09:57 > 0:09:59# We've been together since we were wee
0:09:59 > 0:10:02# He's my spider cuddly toy
0:10:02 > 0:10:05# He's a clever woolly boy
0:10:05 > 0:10:08# I love Woolly and Woolly loves me
0:10:08 > 0:10:11# We've been together since we were wee. #
