Seems I've heard to let a child walk into your home first because it brings you good luck for the coming year. I'll have to let my husband walk in the door first...but...we just had the front steps removed so there's no front door access. Does it count if he walks in the back door, turns around and walks back out??
And...I can get the gift bearing thing together except for the lump of coal...would a diamond be an acceptable replacement?
