Is anyone "First Footing", in the old way tonight? If you are not how was it done when you were younger?
We went around houses and had a drink and a mince pie, then the house was locked and everyone moved on to the next house. At the final house a party. I know the grans north of the border did it differently.
I'm glad I'm staying warm and dry and will be watching everything on TV.
Did you have any traditions you still keep up?
A dark man the first through the door at 12 a.m. with a piece of coal and all the ships and the mines sounded their hooters was ours.
Happy New year to any Aussie grans who will already have celebrated.
