 New Years first foot . . .
Or also know as Hogmanay Traditional Celebrations
The first person to enter your home after midnight will influence the year. He should be dark-haired, tall, and good-looking, and bearing certain small gifts; a lump of coal, a silver coin, a bit of bread, a sprig of evergreen, and salt. Some also add a little whiskey to it. And he should enter though the front door and exit through the back.
Blonde and redhead first footers bring bad luck. Female first footers bring disaster down on the household. Don’t let a woman near your door before a man crosses the threshold. |
