This is fantastic... Just this morning at work I wished our receptionist and a fellow co-worker a Happy Hogmanay. She replied "Lang may yer lum reek, laddie" She is welsh born, the other coworker said "Oh my gosh ain't heard that in ages.. "my dad always added"wey ower foak's coal" she was born in Scotland!" Than the receptionist asked if I was a "first-footer", I stated " Och No! not this year.. my freinds are out of town". She said not bad for a Mexican....

Than they started telling stories about their youth, "first footer carried coal and money" the other said "It was coal and Bread". I said in my house it was Menudo made on New Year Eve, and we than only were allowed to eat it after midnight! .( I never eat the tripe but the hominay)
