There is an old Scottish tradition called "first footing" that said if the person who first entered your home on New Year's Day was a tall, dark-haired man then you would have good luck for the year. If there was only one dark haired man, he would cover the whole neighborhood. My Mom's Dad, Vista Mullan, was one of these men. When I was little, I recall my Grandmother insisting we girls next door stay put until a man entered.
