Okay Hogmanay. I will say Happy Hogmanay instead of Happy New Year and see the reaction.

It's Happy Hogmanay until midnight. THEN, it's Happy New Year.

Do you have first footing in usa?

Got it Cherry...

. Now what is first footing?

Chase your dreams. In high heels of course.

I have never heard of it being called that but I vaguely remember a similar thing from when I was little. I would have to research it a bit to give any detail though as it's not common practice here, as far as I know.

Something about chimney sweeps, coalmen or tramps coming over the threshold of your door? I just don't remember.

You will have to let nobody in. Sooner or later someone has to be the first foot.

Caution, I am feral.

We didn't bother with any of the gifts, but everyone would stand up for the first footer arriving.

Brilliant. Happy New Year Rebecca

I had a wee dram to celebrate yesterday but Cherry would maybe glare at me as it was Welsh Whisky

Later I heard in the New Year as I was woken up by the local fireworks. Typically whooshes followed by bangs like exploding bombs

We don't get visitors much, so we could probably go an entire year without one.

I have never condemned people when they were too poor to afford quality, and I am not going to start now.
