Norm making a bow perhaps, and celebrating? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

partying

'celebrating?' is the definition.
(partying is a kind of celebrating)

'norm making a bow perhaps' is the wordplay.
'norm' becomes 'par' (I've seen this before).
'making a bow perhaps' becomes 'tying' (eg tying a bow in a ribbon).
'par'+'tying'='PARTYING'

'and' is the link.

(Another definition for partying that I've seen is " Enjoying oneself at a do".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
