Calennig

Calennig ([kaˈlɛnɪɡ]) is a Welsh word meaning "New Year celebration/gift", although it literally translates to "the first day of the month", deriving from the Latin word kalends. The English word "calendar" also has its root in this word.

It is a tradition where children carry a decorated apple, pierced with three sticks and decorated with a sprig of box and hazelnuts on New Year's Day. Children would sing a verse and were often gifted with money or food.^[1]
