At every door in the street there is a shivering first-foot whose task, once the bells have chimed, is to enter and prevent the family from being prisoners in their own home. |
|
The first-foot is the first person to enter a house after midnight on New Year's Eve.In this area the custom was for the first-foot to be male with dark hair. |
|
I should be the first-foot here, only I'm no use as a qualtagh. |
