5:48 PM Tetiana Savchenko. The First Foot and the Gymnasium Students.
We are looking forward to New Year! But do you know about the next holiday which is celebrated on the 1 January? It's the First Foot. The First Foot is the first visitor to enter the house on New Year's morning.He comes as early as possible. He usually brings presents, such as a bunch of evergreens, a bottle of vine or a piece of coal. Teenage boys are the most popular first visitors. They usually come into a house with a branch of mistletoe. The First Foot is said to bring luck to the house, so he should be strong, healthy and fair. fair- світловолосий mistletoe-омела bunch-букет. May the First Foot bring you good luck, health & wealth in the New Year.

Your answer is warm, but not hot. It's not England. So, what country is it?

Tradition holds that the "first foot" should belong to a tall, healthy, strapping dark-haired man, carrying symbols of abundance for the home: coal for the fire, bread for the table and whiskey for the head of the household."
