Hop-tu-Naa
Hop-tu-Naa is a Celtic festival celebrated in the Isle of Man on 31 October. Predating Halloween, it is the celebration of the original New Year's Eve (). ==Etymology== Historically Hop-tu-Naa has been considered to be the Celtic New Year, marking the end of the summer and the beginning of winter. It was a time when farmers would celebrate a safely gathered harvest and all preparations completed for the long winter ahead. The etymology of 'Hop-tu-naa' is uncertain, some sources speculating that it comes from Manx Gaelic , meaning "this is the night",〔("Hop-tu-naa time", BBC-Ellan Vannin, 4 April 2008 )〕 though there are a number of origins suggested for the similar Hogmanay, which is the Scottish New Year.
