New Year's Superstitions (Niki)

Well, now that we've made our first video, I'm searching around for more interesting stories to talk about. What I'm currently reading about is New Year's Superstitions. Most of the superstitions seem to revolve around the idea that what happens on the first day of the year will set the tone for the rest of the year. For example, you should try to avoid breaking things or crying, "lest wreckage be part of your year." You should also try to be productive, but don't spend too much time on work! Also, the first person who enters your house after midnight will supposedly greatly influence the rest of your year. You want this person to have dark hair (for blond and red haired people denote bad luck) and to be a man (for women denote disaster in the year ahead*). Hopefully, he also bears gifts, since this would imply that you will receive many good things throughout the year. Hope you have a Happy New Year's and a wonderful new year to come!
