first footing on new year

[kendal]

how many of you kick out your husband, son, dad or brother on new years eve just before the bells with a bag of shopping some coal and some money in their pocket to first foot the house after the bells

We rarely celebrate New Year to be honest in our home. We have a takeaway and a few drinks but that's it. Usually we are in bed well before midnight snuggling up with the doggies and praying for the blasted fireworks to end This year Mark was snoring on the sofa by 11 so it was just me and the bitches

I don't know what it is but my lot all seem to prefer being in bed in our bedroom when fireworks are going off - their anxiety levels are MUCH lower - I have no idea why as the noise is just as evident - perhaps it's where they feel most comfortable and safe?

As a child however yes we did the whole "man" of the house has to leave through the one door and reenter through the other guff - never brought me any luck so it's not a tradition I stick to - and the New Years resolutions......never made one that I lasted more than a week at so gave them up as a bad joke to
