Part of my family is Scottish. It's Scottish tradition that the first person to set foot in your house after midnight on New Year's Day should be a tall, dark man. Generally, there are a few such men living in any given village or town, and they will go door-to-door to their neighbors and friends and cross their thresholds. At each house, they usually get a drink of whisky. By the end of the night they are pretty happy

My daddy was the designated "first step into the house" person, as he had BLACK hair!

I agree. It's the tradition, not the superstition.
