First Footing

This is a time when relatives and friends come to visit the home. The first person to come to the door in the New Year should be a dark-haired man (or fair-haired depending on the area). He should bring a small gift such as a piece of coal, bread, salt, whisky which are symbols of life. This will ensure prosperity in the New Year.
