This lo is about a tradition we keep: the First Foot. It comes from the Isle of Man and it's explained on the journaling that reads: Quaaltagh The Isle of Man name for the 1st Foot, or the 1st person to enter a house on New Year’s Day. The 1st Foot is very important because he influences the fortune of the home for the coming year. If he’s an unlucky or ill-favoured person the family will suffer the consequences for the next 12 months. It is wise, therefore, to arrange for the 1st Foot to be a respectable person. He should bring, as gifts, a coin, a slice of bread, a lump of coal, and a dram of spirits. This will ensure prosperity, food, warmth, and good cheer during the New Year.
Every year, on Jan. 1st., our friend Alex acts as our First Foot.
