I didn't post a scarf - I think that was lnight....
pg. 23: Inight, I goofed! I sent you a comment on the scarf you posted, only I sent it to Janice. I am sorry. I do get squarely this time of night. Please forgive me for not repeating, but if you would look on pg. 23, up above this, and read it. HA! I just discovered it is already past midnight~~Welcome to 2013 Inight.

not really sure when it started, back in the day when people would go from house to house, the host or hostess would extend a drink from their bottle and the person accepting would extend the same to them, the first foot after the bells at midnight should be a dark headed male, when entering he puts the silver coin on the mantle, a piece of coal in the fireplace and then toasts the host and hostess, the coin is for wealth, the coal for warmth and the toast is for good health all through the year. Mum wouldn't let my sister or myself in one year as we had red hair (unlucky) had to get the neighbour up the street to come down and go in first
