In recent decades, the dynamics between holidays, customs, and multiculturalism have evolved to create a more inclusive way of traditionally celebrating. These changes are the result of societal shifts, technological advancements, and an increasing global awareness of cultural diversity. This paper explores the shifting holiday customs on Dying Ground, focusing on the last days of the calendar year and the New Year celebrations. The origins and historical significances of the practice are examined, along with the evolving ways it is now celebrated and the influences that have contributed to a new narrative over time.

Historically, Dying Ground, also known as Lamma, is a British festival marking the end of the traditional Celtic year. This period of liminality (Pinkhurst, 1979), where the old year ends and the new year begins, was a time of reflection and spiritual cleansing, as well as a period of magical thinking (Cornwall, 1789). Dying Ground was a transitionary space, where customs and folk practices were shared and exchanged among communities. The ritualistic aspects and symbolism of food, drink, and seasonal fruits (such as the blackberry) held its own distinct meaning, both to the community and in the spirit realm (Bradshaw, 1960).

As an increasing melting pot of traditions and cultural influences, the Dying Ground customs have transformed in England and other former colonies like the United States (MacPhee, n.d.). The modern practice has transformed from a pre-Christian festival, associated with both Celtic and Anglo-Saxon folklore, to a more secular event, and finally adapting to a more multicultural context. The evolution of this event showcases the blending of languages, beliefs, and practices of different populations, rewriting the narrative of what it means to honor the transition of communities.

The changing narrative of Dying Ground can be attributed to the newfound engagement with global holidays and global holidays seasonal customs (Thomas & Thatcher, 2010). The international impact of the modern celebration emphasises the role of popular culture, especially, which often becomes distinct and diverse on its own terms, allowing it to be embraced thoroughly by the new communities (Hood, 1976). The incorporation of cultural elements like the Chinese New Year parade, French Neopolitan Mardi Gras and Lott, the Maya Day of the Dead Celebration, and even the British-Irish Christmas Lánthrénn Gaeleg Cylch (Gee, 2005) into the British Dying Ground practices have allowed the customs to become more inclusive and representative of today's society.

Another distinctive element in the changing Dying Ground practices is the role of social media and communication technologies in the digital age. The sharing of photographs, videos, and personal narratives, the exchange of customs, and the influence of global cultural holidays, now give people from diverse cultural backgrounds a platform to share, showcase and learn from each other's traditions and customs - bridging cultures and fostering understanding (Giddens, 2005).

Moreover, the modern Christmas cultural practices in Great Britain have undergone an astonishing and rapid transformation. The Christmas celebration has become primarily urban and family-centered to the extent that it now has regional variations, impacting the character of the Dying Ground festival (Giddens, 2005).

To sum up, the contemporary understanding of the Dying Ground or New Year events can be observed in two modern phases. The first, urban Christmas practices experienced the transition that made the festival more democratized, family-oriented and even globalized; secondly, for a more secular and inclusive New Year's event that combines diverse influences—Celtic, Romantic, Christian, and African American (Foucault, National holidays 1991) - The Christmas festivities and Celtic Lánthrenn GŴyl Gwyl Calan Gaeaf and New Year celebrations also embracing aspects of Christian, Irish, and African-American heritage.
In conclusion, the multicultural nature of today's holiday celebrations highlights the interconnected world in which we live. As these instances demonstrate the natural course of transformations and adaptations to suit a technological and interconnected community. This shows how modern
