6 International Holiday Traditions We Should Celebrate Here
From Party Ideas
A funny tradition—and one that I really wouldn’t mind participating in—is the European one of first-footing. Apparently, the first person to step into your house after midnight on New Year’s should be a tall, dark haired man! He should bring you bread and coal, ensuring that you don’t go without food and warmth this year. What a great way to celebrate—especially if you’re a single lady!

Awesome! I love learning about different cultures and traditions
no krampus for me, thanks.
Yea really
i want a yule log. it looks yummy.
First-footing – I could use like a Ryan Reynolds or Ryan Gosling type coming on over. Yummy.
I never really got into parades. I don’t think they are that interesting. I’d rather be doing something else.
pass on that scary tradition. Leave that for Halloween only. I don’t like that scary stuff. Poor little kids oversees.
we do have boxing day in the US, we just don’t call it that.
I love Christmas. My favorite holiday with celebrations all over the world.
