_me0wster | *from me, when it comes. | 14:10:35 |

_me0wster | to share wishes afore the time | 14:11:15 |
Will Ðe Draigon | Hah, alright | 17:20:05 |
Henry Jekyll | Strange question: does the person in First Footing have to be a stranger? | 18:00:44 |
Henry Jekyll | Or can you send a member of your own household out to enter in again? | 18:01:00 |
ciphriuskane | Nae shuir, bit a mind ae Broons comic faar the Furst Fitters wis Joe an Hen (the twa auldest Broon loons) comin back fae the War | 18:07:02 |
_me0wster | just not your own household | 19:00:15 |
_me0wster | so can't send someone out to come back in. | 19:01:19 |
_me0wster | but you could first foot your neighbour and he could then first foot you. | 19:01:44 |
Henry Jekyll | Ah, I see! | 19:26:29 |
Henry Jekyll | Wait, another question—
If you have a neighbour/friend/stranger over already, and it strikes midnight, and they leave and come back, does that count too?
I know there no rule book for this, nor is there any prize to be won, but I am still curious about the nuances of the tradition. It’s more about bringing someone in from outside, right? | 19:42:01 |
Henry Jekyll | ALSO, does the person have a name? To visit a house(hold) is to “first foot” it/them, but what do you call the person who does it? A first footer? A first foot? | 19:42:25 |
